January Women’s choice: Is motherhood the biggest career dealbreaker for women in workplaces?

January Women’s choice Is motherhood the biggest career dealbreaker for women in workplaces

Motherhood is often celebrated as a profound and transformative journey, but for many women, it comes with unique challenges in the workplace. The intersection of career and motherhood exposes deeply rooted structural issues.

These challenges are not just personal, they reflect systemic gaps in organisational practices that hinder women’s career growth. Balancing professional ambitions with caregiving responsibilities should not come at the cost of a woman’s career trajectory. Yet, for many mothers, these barriers remain an all-too-common reality.

Organisations have the power to rewrite this narrative by implementing policies that genuinely support mothers. These are not just perks but essential steps toward creating a more inclusive and supportive workplace culture.

Share your thoughts on what stronger policies and cultural shifts can pave the way for workplaces that empower women to thrive, not just as professionals but as mothers, without compromise.
