Synopsis

The Power Lane: Why Keeping Moms in the Workplace REVS the Economy is a compelling business case for why leaders should take a hard look at their organization's systems and structures to solve one of today's most perplexing problems-understanding why moms aren't leaving the workforce, they are leaving your workplace.

With record-high labor participation rates, moms have been a driving force in the US economic recovery post-pandemic but with a significant personal, financial, and health cost. American mothers are the most educated they have ever been, have the skills organizations need, and want to contribute to achieve personal goals and provide for their families. But the tight labor market gives them more choice-and they will go to organizations that value their impact and better support the daily juggle of work and family.

The simple truth is your organization suffers when moms leave your workplace. The Power Lane presents a road map with five accelerators and four gears to give every mom in your organization the power to stay in the driver's seat:

• Regulations
• Ecosystem
• Village
• Self

Together, this REVS the economy and, more importantly, your business. This is not a nice-to-have anymore; it is a business imperative to keep moms in your workplace. Dive in, create your road map, and start accelerating your business today with the power of moms.
