Diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace is hardly a new topic. Still yet, the statistics of women (of any race) in leadership positions are still heartbreakingly low. Seventy-three percent of women report bias in the workplace, and still yet, less than a third of employees are able to recognize it when it occurs in their presence. It’s clear that unconscious bias is rampant. Unconscious bias refers to unconscious forms of discrimination and stereotyping based on race, gender, … [Read more...]
We all knew it. COVID-19 has changed the remote workplace landscape forever. Now what….
In Spring 2020, in the middle of a worldwide pandemic, we observed many of the companies who had told us in the past that remote work wasn't part of their "organizational culture" or that they weren't "set up" to allow workers to be productive from home do a complete 180 and move the majority of their workforce home. Now that we know that our employers CAN and HAVE supported remote workers, what happens next? We're going to begin by trying to support this long-term transition. Download … [Read more...]

With this year’s theme for International Women’s Day, #EachforEqual and MomSource’s commitment to helping women and progressive employers come together, we explored what equality means to … [Read more...]

Welcome to the NEW DECADE
Welcome to 2020! I always try to find time during the last few days of the year to reflect on my life, our family and our progress at MomSource. In the last months of 2020, some personal challenges have reminded me that I'm not the type of person who can ever find myself satisfied. I am always wanting, reaching and needing more--but this year, a new friend, Marci, reminded me that taking inventory of where you've been is the only way to know where you do (and don't) want to go in the … [Read more...]
