"Significant numbers of women leave the workforce when they have children. According to a 2016 study, 30 percent of women with BA’s stop working when they have kids, while 19 percent of women with master’s degrees and 26 percent of women without a BA leave the workforce. Research has shown that flexibility is key for a lot of female workers. A 2013 Pew Research Center poll, for example, found that 70 percent of working moms said that having a flexible work schedule is “extremely important” to them. Only 48 percent of working dads said the same."

30% of talented women are dropping out of the workforce but 70% of that group say they would still be working if they had flexibility. Employees no longer work standard hours in a single space with one parent at home. Corporate policies need to be updated to reflect these modern realities. We cannot parent like we don’t have jobs and work like we don’t have children.
