Hard Decisions: Family vs. Career in Times of a Pandemic

March is Women's History Month, a time to learn about and celebrate women doing amazing things. One of these women is Lauren Leader, who is the co-founder and CEO of All In Together, a non-partisan, non-profit organization dedicated to women's civic education and participation. She is also the Executive Advisor at Leader Chivee Advisors, LLC, specializing in diversity, public affairs, engagement, communications, and corporate social responsibility. She is an author, activist, and DE&I expert. Lauren talks about the impact of the pandemic on women’s economic participation, and how public policy influences the workplace. She tells me that COVID-19 is pushing women out of the workforce at an alarming rate, forcing them to choose between domestic and work-related responsibilities.
