A new white paper launched this week is exploring the challenges mums face in the workplace, revealing despite societal changes, the burden of combining work and home life can still fall on working mums.
Research has revealed that one in four mums in the UK feel less valued as an employee in the workplace since becoming a mum, and 30 per cent don’t feel understood by others in the workplace.
Commissioned by MALTESERS, a survey of over 2,000 working parents in the UK, who have at least one child aged five or younger, found that 55 per cent of UK mums say they need more help from employers and colleagues.
