PROGRESSIVE MOTHERHOOD
As a modern mother managing work and mum life, Rebecca is a strong believer in empowering women and mothers in the workplace. Mothers are the fastest-growing segment of the US workforce and in Australia women represent 47% of the workforce. Through small and measured changes towards workplace inclusion and female empowerment, businesses can gain employee loyalty, higher staff retention, experience less business disruption and retain company IP and knowledge.
