Work Series: You’re Not Imagining It — The System Is Rigged Against Working Mothers, with Jane van Zyl
Об эпизоде
Welcome to our special 8 part work series. A mini series that takes a deep dive into paid work and motherhood, inspired by feedback from our community who have overwhelmingly said that this is something that’s difficult to get right. We hope that this series supports you, offers you guidance and gives you confidence. For first guest interview, we’re going straight where we need to: to the big picture, to reveal the systems and structures that we’re operating in. Why? Because that helps us make sense of our individual experiences. Our guest is Jane Van Zyl, CEO of Working Families, the UK’s national charity for working parents and carers. Jane brings a rare and powerful perspective. She is at the heart of the conversations between government, employers and thousands of parents. There’s probably no one better placed to understand the challenges, opportunities and systems at play. We talk about the ‘Motherhood Pentalty’, the truth about flexible work, why shared parental leave isn’t working, and what real systemic change looks like. Jane also shares practical advice for anyone who feels unseen or unsupported in the workplace and gives us a vital reminder that we all need to hear: that you are enough.
