With an unprecedented amount of women being forced to leave the workforce due to the global pandemic, it’s more important now than ever to hire, retain, and promote women and moms in the workplace - not just to benefit her, but overall better team performance.

New research from WerkLabs shows that employees with moms as managers and CEOs report more job satisfaction, increased team collaboration, and greater likelihood to stay at their company. In times of uncertainty, these factors can have a big impact on the success of your business, especially since moms are one of the largest segments of diverse talent in today’s workforce. 

Now is the time to put an end to the motherhood penalty and unlock the full potential of moms in the workplace. Based on new, first-of-its kind data from Werklabs, moms in the workforce lead to:
