Nearly 70% of HR professionals agree: There’s not enough time in the day. Recruitment is the No. 1 priority, and the pressure is immense. Feeling all alone on an island (and not in the good, beachy way) means burnout and turnover for HR professionals juggling their endless to-do list on top of finding the right talent. Nobody can do it on their own. It takes a village. Enter The Mom Project: a nationwide community of 1.7 million incredibly talented, diverse and qualified moms (dads and allies, too!) ready to deliver results from day one. Why moms? Because we are creative problem-solvers and relentless goal-getters with the skills and experience businesses need. Let the village take care of you for a change. #ItTakesAVillage
How do colleagues stay connected in our #remote culture? According to HubSpot’s 2022 Hybrid Work Report, 40% of remote employees miss spontaneous, in-person meetings with their co-workers. Forbes outlines some great ways for remote teams to stay connected, including trying to hop on quick calls and avoid endless email chains. A great way to build rapport, connection and ideation opportunities. At The Mom Project, we love a quick Slack Huddle or Google Meet to stay connected! How do you encourage your remote teams to stay connected?

Some good news: According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics last month, women’s workforce rate is at an all time high. “Why it matters: It's a remarkable comeback story. Women have not only regained their pandemic losses in the job market, they've been exceeding those numbers month after month.” Our take? Let’s keep going, building a workforce that works for women.

The collective power of MOM!
We did it! Tonight, after nearly 15,000 moms and allies called on CNN to ask the presidential candidates about the child care crisis — they asked the question! Moments ago, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash brought child care to the national stage, acknowledging the astronomical cost of child care for families and asking the candidates how they plan to fix the broken child care system if they are elected. And...the candidates failed to give us any substantive answers and used the time to bicker. Clearly, we have our work cut out for us. While we are disappointed that our presidential candidates failed to acknowledge the seriousness of our child care crisis — tonight, let’s take a moment to celebrate the power and influence of moms. Because your voice matters and this is just the beginning. This is what happens when moms get loud and fight for ourselves — we get results.
📣 IRL get togethers with your remote coworkers? Priceless. Thank you Stephanie Sanders for highlighting the power of The Mom Project!
The best part of working remote is when you get the chance to meet your colleagues in person. Finally, after four years, that’s what I was able to do with Elena Doyle. I hired Elena to help with various enablement projects for my team through The Mom Project in 2020 and have kept in touch ever since. And just like any visitor to Richmond, I had to take her and the kids to Gelati Celesti 🍦 If you need any extra hands on deck for projects on your team, I’d highly recommend The Mom Project, and any team needing an Enablement expert should reach out to Elena directly.
Over 13,000 moms, advocates, and allies raised their voices together with Moms First to address the growing child care crisis at tonight's debate—and now we wait to see if CNN and the candidates will address the concerns of moms across the country. We need to hear plans for: 💰 Lowering child care costs 👐 Making child care more accessible 🧃 Ensuring child care facilities can keep their doors open and pay their staff fairly, so they can continue providing the essential care needed by parents across the country Together, let's collectively work to inspire change. #Debates2024 #ChildCare
Thank you so much for sharing The Mom Project — it means a lot!!!
