Women make on average 15% less than men across countries. As I was pregnant with my second baby and ahead of my mat leave, Allison Venditti and I got to talk on the Belonging Project Podcast. Allison is the founder of Moms at Work, a Canada-based organisation providing community, resources and advocacy for working mothers. In this podcast episode, we talk about: - the Motherhood Penalty - the impact of the pandemic on working mums - what can help prevent gender discrimination in the workplace: universal daycare, pay transparency, actively promoting & supporting men taking parental leave. I also loved learning about Allison's own journey and how her organisation grew from a Facebook Group to meeting with the Canadian PM and passing legislation. What a great conversation!!! If you're a working mother, father, or if you have a working mom in your organisation, I urge you to listen to this episode. ** Links from the episode: Learn more about Moms at work and Allison's work here: https://thisismomsatwork.com/ Access expert resources on Parental leave for your teams: https://myparentalleave.ca/about/ (Canada specific) Connect with Allison here and with Fiorenza here.
