Working Mum's Manifesto
Tuesday, July 04, 2006
Although I'm not one of them, many of my friends are, and I am a real believer in having it all. Yes, it's not too much to ask to be able to have a family and an intellectually satisfying career!In this manifesto, Carol Evans, President and CEO of Working Mother magazine, shows working mothers (and fathers) how to ask their organisations for what they need to attain a healthy balance between work and family. She argues that now is the time, because working parents have greater leverage as the baby boomer generation leaves the workplace and companies face an employee shortage.
