Some good news: According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics last month, women’s workforce rate is at an all time high. “Why it matters: It's a remarkable comeback story. Women have not only regained their pandemic losses in the job market, they've been exceeding those numbers month after month.” Our take? Let’s keep going, building a workforce that works for women.

The collective power of MOM!
We did it! Tonight, after nearly 15,000 moms and allies called on CNN to ask the presidential candidates about the child care crisis — they asked the question! Moments ago, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash brought child care to the national stage, acknowledging the astronomical cost of child care for families and asking the candidates how they plan to fix the broken child care system if they are elected. And...the candidates failed to give us any substantive answers and used the time to bicker. Clearly, we have our work cut out for us. While we are disappointed that our presidential candidates failed to acknowledge the seriousness of our child care crisis — tonight, let’s take a moment to celebrate the power and influence of moms. Because your voice matters and this is just the beginning. This is what happens when moms get loud and fight for ourselves — we get results.

📣 IRL get togethers with your remote coworkers? Priceless. Thank you Stephanie Sanders for highlighting the power of The Mom Project!
The best part of working remote is when you get the chance to meet your colleagues in person. Finally, after four years, that’s what I was able to do with Elena Doyle. I hired Elena to help with various enablement projects for my team through The Mom Project in 2020 and have kept in touch ever since. And just like any visitor to Richmond, I had to take her and the kids to Gelati Celesti 🍦 If you need any extra hands on deck for projects on your team, I’d highly recommend The Mom Project, and any team needing an Enablement expert should reach out to Elena directly.

Over 13,000 moms, advocates, and allies raised their voices together with Moms First to address the growing child care crisis at tonight's debate—and now we wait to see if CNN and the candidates will address the concerns of moms across the country. We need to hear plans for: 💰 Lowering child care costs 👐 Making child care more accessible 🧃 Ensuring child care facilities can keep their doors open and pay their staff fairly, so they can continue providing the essential care needed by parents across the country Together, let's collectively work to inspire change. #Debates2024 #ChildCare

"An estimated 29 million workers, from senior managers to retail clerks, work while also caring for an adult family member, according to research by AARP and the National Alliance for Caregiving. Six out of 10 are working full time, compared with 46% in 2009. After working 40 hours, many spend about 20 hours providing unpaid care, according to the research." Caregiving is a marathon, not a sprint. And with so many Americans caught in the sandwich generation (those who have a living parent age 65 or older and are either raising a child under age 18 or supporting a grown child), it's imperative that organizations work to create the benefits, flexibility and structures that foster cultures where its possible to be a caregiver AND a productive, valued employee.

According to recent data from LinkedIn's latest Workforce Confidence survey, #remoteworkers are less burnt out than their on-site or hybrid counterparts, with 36% of remote workers feeling burn out, compared to 44% of on-site workers and 42% of hybrid workers. 💡 Does this line up with what you are experiencing?
How does flexibility impact burnout levels among employees? Remote workers in the U.S. are less burnt out from their jobs than mostly onsite or hybrid workers, according to the findings of LinkedIn's latest Workforce Confidence survey — even though they are less likely to report having close friends at work. The survey found that 36% of remote workers report feeling burnt out at work, compared to 44% of onsite workers and 42% of hybrid workers. One reason for that discrepancy could be that remote roles offer workers more control over how they spend their day-to-day. Recent research from Payscale shows that some employees would prefer to work from home, even if it means lower pay or fewer paths to promotion as more companies shift their dispersed workforces back into offices. Meanwhile, separate research from Gallup shows that workplace friendships can help stave off burnout — which could be why some employees who work at least partially onsite are more likely to make those relationships a priority. According to LinkedIn’s survey, most hybrid workers (56%) say they have at least one close friend at work, compared to 49% of remote workers. Do these findings line up with what you would expect? How can you limit burnout regardless of your work arrangement? Weigh in below. ✍️: Rachel Cromidas 📊: Allie Lewis, Bud Rashidian
