Are you ready to challenge gender stereotypes and embrace the benefits of paternity leave? Join Kat and guest host Jenn as we discuss the importance of comprehensive parental leave policies. We'll explore how these policies can help eliminate gender bias in the workplace and even contribute to narrowing the gender pay gap. Plus, we'll take a look at trailblazers like Volvo, who are making positive changes for parents in the automotive sector.
We're also excited to share the insightful experiences of guests Allen and Andrew, two new fathers who have embraced paternity leave. They'll open up about the connections they've formed with their spouses and children and its positive impact on their wife's well-being and postpartum recovery. Let's dive into the cultural attitudes surrounding paternal leave in the US, the stigma that exists when men take paternity leave, and the pressure people feel when offered (or not offered) such leave by their employers.
Together, we can better understand how to create a cultural change by encouraging more men to take paternity leave and asking employers to offer a parental leave policy if not provided. Don't miss out on this enlightening conversation about the impact of gender stereotypes on parents in the workplace and how we can work together to create a more inclusive and supportive environment in the automotive industry and beyond.
