Such a joy to be on @CareDotCom's Equal Parts podcast! I share actionable steps that business leaders, managers, and #workingparents can take to create workplace cultures that support and celebrate #caregiving and #caregivers. Check it out:

Our friends at @MirzaSaysHey put together a great guide (with a calculator!) making the business case for #PaidLeaveforAll. Seriously, check it out. The fight isn't over. heymirza.com/the-business-ca…
Yesterday, cofounder @amytendlab was in conversation with the pioneering senator @SenHannahBeth. If you missed it live, you can catch up with the recording here: nationbuilder.com/nationbuil…
It's definitely worth a watch, if you're into moving stories and inspiring changemakers!

We are honored, proud, and humbled to have co-created this important document with the fine folks at @TIMESUPNOW. It's time to reckon with our broken system and enact real change to support our massive population of working caregivers.
The Leaders’ Guide to Creating a Culture of Care is here! We’ve teamed up with @withtendlab & the TIME'S UP Care Economy Business Council to help business leaders improve their workplace policies to better support caregivers #CompaniesThatCare times.upnow.us/3wsy0cx

Our Tending to Care Pledge was featured in the latest issue of @emfred's Caregiving Crisis. Does your company track caregiver status? caregivingcrisis.substack.co…
We’ve been living @annehelen’s perspective and excellent reporting on work culture. Companies must be thoughtful as they think about what’s next.
Wrote about problems and promise of current back to the office plans:

So here for this.
Becoming a new parent and transitioning to work can be difficult to navigate.
For @ahossain24, co-founder & CEO of @TheGrandWorld, she's thankful to learn and grow with other 'founder mamas.'

"My fear is the biggest cost in the long run is all the single men come in 5 days a week, and college-educated women with a 6-year-old and an 8-year-old come in 2 days a week. Years down the road there’s a huge difference in promotion rates and you have a diversity crisis."
The second half of this sentence is crucial. End the stigma. Parents are assets. Taking #PaidFamilyLeave does not make you a worse employee; in fact, it can make you better.
Won't stop until every American has access to #PaidFamilyLeave and every dad feels confident enough to take it.
Thank you @elissaavery for this piece, bringing together so many leading voices in this movement. We're proud to be a part of this important #careforce!

We are proud to be one of the founding #CompaniesThatCare in this exciting coalition, and looking forward to doing more meaningful work with our partners at @TIMESUPNOW. Join us!
Today we launch the Care Economy Business Council! A coalition of ~200 companies committed to building caregiving infrastructure. Caregiving shouldn't be an issue workers have to figure out on their own; #CompaniesThatCare can be part of the solution. times.upnow.us/3ezPQnd

When schools closed, mothers were America's back-up plan. As society reopens, 1.3 million of them are still out of work. We hear a lot about the numbers. We can forget that each of their stories is personal. We owe it to them to listen and look: nytimes.com/interactive/2021…
Love this exec team lineup, and how beautifully they all talk about the blend of their work and caregiving responsibilities.
One of the first actions a company can take to support working parents is to model and normalize a culture of family life from the top down. Here’s how our team of working parents does it. #ActionOverAppreciation hubs.li/H0NxGnW0
