On this World Mental Health Day, let's remind ourselves that resting isn’t a waste of time; it’s essential for our well-being. In a culture where we often feel the untenable pressure to do it all, it seems impossible to slow down and recharge at least without feeling guilt. Taking breaks and having fun helps us to reboot, connect, and create. #WorldMentalHealthDay #SelfCare #InvestInYourself #AdamGrant

At MomUp, we’re seeing a clear trend: parents, especially moms, are scrutinizing workplace culture like never before. They want to ensure they’re joining companies that truly value and support their employees. This means companies need to step up if they want to attract and retain top talent. It’s not just about filling a role—it’s about building an environment where women, particularly moms, can thrive and lead. 💡 Here’s how organizations can create that environment and stand out: 1️⃣ Revamp your recruitment strategy: Craft gender-neutral job descriptions and focus on essential skills, while showcasing benefits like flexibility and childcare support. 2️⃣ Standardize interviews: Implement consistent processes for all candidates and use bias-reducing methods like blind screening. 3️⃣ Bias training is crucial: Unconscious biases, such as maternal wall bias, can block talented women. Train your teams to recognize and dismantle these biases. By investing in creating a culture where parents feel supported, companies not only attract incredible talent but also create a ripple effect of innovation, loyalty, and leadership.

This October 3, we recognize Latina Equal Pay Day. Latinas are among the fastest-growing and most influential groups in the United States, excelling across all sectors and industries. However, in 2023, Latinas still experienced a significant pay gap, earning just 51 cents for every dollar earned by white non-Hispanic men. This figure encompasses all Latinas with reported earnings, including part-time, seasonal, and migrant workers. For full-time, year-round employees, the wage gap widens to 58 cents for every dollar paid to white non-Hispanic men. This disparity underscores the ongoing economic challenges that Latinas face. #equalpay #wageequity #latinaequalpayday
