Gender equality firm Mumโs Enterprise hasย launched itsย report โFrom Career Woman to Working Mumโ to coincide with Maternal Mental Heal Awareness Week 2018.
This is the first initiative launched as part of the company’sย โHappiness Projectโ, which it says isย dedicated to supporting a happier nation. The report has been collated drawing on insight of over 1,000 mums across the UK and this free resource is available to download now.
The report explores what mothers desire to feel fulfilled and happy in their working lives, post-children. It offers insight, sharing tangible comparisons of happiness levels throughout the journey of motherhood. It also explores womenโs hopes and dreams and the fears that mayย hold them back from making a positive change in their work or business lives.
Lucy Chaplin, Mumโs Enterprise Creative Director,ย said:ย โToo many women are still suffering in silence and we need to work together to drive change across the UK. I hope that this report will draw attention to the plight of professional mums who have worked hard to get somewhere, only lose confidence and feel guilty when they have children and that businesses will recognise that more flexible working patterns could make millions of workers happier and more productive and help them retain talent.โ
Lindsey Fish, Founder and CEO of Mumโs Enterprise, said: โEverything about the work we do here at Mum’s Enterprise Ltd comes down to one purpose, and that is to help change the work and business lives of mums for the better forever. We have been working hard for three years to get to this point, we have organised five exhibitions in this time with two more planned, our biggest yet this year and I am excited about the change we are helping make happen across the nation.โ
โThe launch of our independent report; ‘Career Woman to Working Mum’, is the first of many initiatives we have planned. I am very passionate and conscious myself about the impact of becoming a mother overnight and in the years that follow, the effect that it can have on your mental health and well being. I truly intend to make it my lifeโs work to continue on our mission to help millions #shootforthemoon.โ
Mumโs Enterprise Roadshow is aย free to attend, child-friendly inspirational and action provoking series of events aimed at helping attendees get into the right frame of mind for change and is a must attend for those looking to retrain, find flexible work, start or grow a business.
