Careering into MotherhoodAuthor: Careering into Motherhood
Why do so many of us go careering into motherhood, unaware of just how hard it is to have a meaningful career as well as family commitments? And why dont men struggle with their careers in the same way? We talk about the rise of flexible jobs and work anywhere policies, executive burnout and the pressure to be always on, Government claims that 75% of mothers are in work, and yet there's being in work and there's having a career. If youve had a career break, been on maternity leave, want a career change, want to relaunch yourself back into work or just want a happier balance between work and everything else, Careering Into Motherhood is here with practical advice, insightful interviews and real human stories. Jane Johnson helps empower women and negotiate with employers to offer flexible working so they can stay in their careers. She negotiated her own senior role as a job-share, and in 2019 she set up the Careering Into Motherhood Facebook Group to promote discussion around flexible working, the group now has more than 8,000 members and a successful womens mentoring programme.
