🚨PSA: Take those vacation days! They’re a part of your compensation and not taking all of them means you’re leaving money on the table. Time off—guilt-free—helps avoid burnout. We often think that resting or taking a break is a waste of time but in fact, the opposite is true. #Rest is critical not only for our health but for our productivity and creativity too! It’s good for you. It’s good for your team. It’s good for business. #PTO #vacation

“Everyone’s going to go into menopause at some point or another—why shouldn’t we be talking about it?!” You don’t have to be a Hollywood star to relate: if you’re a woman in or approaching menopause, there might be some fear, shame, and anxiety surrounding it—naturally! But Naomi Watts is right. All women *will* get there so we need to put the topic on the table sooner rather than later. It’s conversations like these that are going to shift the entire culture around menopause and help society approach it with more understanding and empathy. Keep it up. Others 👏 are 👏 listening.

Half of workers around the world are struggling with burnout. And while burnout is prevalent across all employee types, it’s far higher for certain subgroups. Women, members of the LGBTQ+ community, people with disabilities, and deskless workers experienced up to 26% higher burnout. A new study from Boston Consulting Group (BCG) reveals that when employees feel included at work, the likelihood of #burnout is reduced by 2x. Feeling included means many different things to many different people. Read more from the report: https://lnkd.in/ehGk4ptx

📊 Did you know? Research from the Women’s Philanthropy Institute at Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy reveals that women are not just generous, they’re game-changers. Women are more likely to donate to charity and tend to give larger donations than men. 💰 Wealthy women, in particular, use their wealth more altruistically, driving significant change in their communities and beyond. Yet, how these philanthropic powerhouses spend their wealth often sparks debate. It’s time to recognize and celebrate the incredible impact of women who are making a difference, one donation at a time. #TaylorSwift #ErasTour

Allyson Felix holds a record 20 World Championship medals and 11 Olympic medals, including seven golds. She is acutely aware of what it takes to be an elite athlete, and an elite athlete mom. She is teaming up with Pampers to create the first-ever Pampers Nursery in the Athletes Village at the Paris Olympics. The nursery will offer a space for moms to bond with, nurse and play with their babies, helping to alleviate some of the pressures of competition. “I just knew how difficult it was to compete at the top level after I had my daughter, and some practical things were really hard. And so when I joined the Athletes Commission of the IOC, I really wanted to be that voice for athlete moms, and just take away one less thing for them to worry about in the pressure of competition,” said Felix. Bravo 👏

Did you know that Mozart had an older sister? She was a musician who wowed audiences across Paris, London, Munich and Vienna. Maria Anna was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s role model, but many people only know of him. We’ll never know if she could have reached the same level of stardom as her brother, as her days on tour were cut short by her father at 18 when she became eligible to marry. But we can appreciate her talent and apprenticeship whenever we hear any of Mozart’s compositions. 🎹🎵

In a historic moment for gymnastics, four of the five members of 2024’s Team USA — Simone Biles, Jordan Chiles, Suni Lee and Hezly Rivera — are women of color. These phenomenal athletes are not only pushing the limits of the sport but also shattering long-standing racial barriers in a sport traditionally dominated by white women. 👏
