- The work-life juggle of parents.
- The gender-pay-gap.

- The benefit of flexible working in company culture.
Notes;
- Going back to work after a child can also provide many benefits.
- More companies need to consider family-friendly workplace policies.
- Employees should speak-up when they are struggling as they can make a change and influence a companies culture.
