What does a Radiometer Sales Lead's journey of balancing parenthood and career look like?
Juggling the demands of a career and family life can be a real challenge, but some individuals seem to have a knack for making it work. Dr. Neha Lopes Jadhav, a Zonal Sales Manager at Radiometer in Western India, is one such person. Her story is an inspiring example of how with the right mindset, support, and a bit of creative planning, it's possible to excel in both your professional and personal life.
Joining Radiometer in November 2019, Neha quickly expanded her responsibilities and took on the challenge of leading the entire Western region of India in 2021. With a decade of experience in clinical support functions, she brings a wealth of expertise to the table.
Balancing the demands of work and family life is no small thing, especially in a fast-paced field like sales. "Honestly, at times it becomes a great challenge to balance it out with business travel and the demanding nature of the job itself," she admits. "But I am blessed with an angel named Mom who comes to my rescue and tends my kids while I am away from home, I have an extremely understanding husband and that make my life calm."
Her secret to success?
Meticulous planning and a strong support system. "Career in sales comes with multiple challenges and to manage it well, the most important thing is planning your day/week/month well in advance," she shares. And when it comes to fostering a parent-friendly work environment, flexibility is paramount. "Flexibility at work is the core and having a supportive manager and colleagues is the lifeline."
But what truly sets Neha apart is her ability to give 100% both at work and at home. "I love to start my work early and finish my work on time so that I can spend the rest of the evening with my family. When at work give 100% to work but when at home make sure you apply the same rule."
As we strive to hire more talented female colleagues in Radiometer India's sales team, it's crucial to support and empower working parents. Neha has a message for women considering a career in sales or leadership: "Often, as women, we’re always multitasking and sometimes we get so engrossed in our daily routine that we miss the focus on growth and development. This is where, if the organization can help identify talent and shape it in the right direction, it will be a big benefit."
At Radiometer, we're committed to creating a workplace that empowers and supports working parents like Neha. Join us in celebrating the everyday champions who make it all possible, and let's continue to foster a culture that enables them to thrive both personally and professionally.
