How To Keep Moms In STEM?

At workplace, the dynamic suddenly changes for when a female becomes a mom and joins the workforce again.

• At a manager level, you can ensure that you are not pushing to salary disparity and keep all members of your team at par salary based on merit and skills.
• When a female colleague gets married don’t assume she will take off for maternity soon.
• When a female colleague does take off for maternity, don’t count it as vacation and provide benefits on coming back-workplace day care, breastfeeding rooms, mentors like other moms.
• Respect their working hours - they are handling two full time jobs.
