Dear Mothers of Mumsnet
We are three Master students at Copenhagen Business School in Denmark, currently doing a research project about women in higher positions in companies. We are really interested in hearing from mothers who is or have been in a higher position/leader position in a company, but also women who for some reason declined a higher position.
- Share your experience (where were you working and what is/was your position)
- What changed for you psychologically or socially for you before, during and after having kids?
- How did the company meet your needs when having kids (postiviely or negatively)
- Did you have the possibility to pump your milk in a feeding room?
- Did the company offer parental leave - how long?
- What could the company offer before, during and after having kids?
- If you chose not going back to work - why?
- What solutions do you recommend for the company you worked for or other companies in general that are experiencing difficulties with retaining women in higher positions?
We appreciate any information, experiences, thoughts, ideas, and recommendations on this topic. If you are not comfortable in sharing your workplace, you are more than welcome to just writing the industry/sector/type of work.
Best regards
Alexander Bergmann, Marie Garpered and Paulina Posse
