Hello hello! Rach here 🌸🌻
Yesterday, I had the privilege of speaking on a panel at the Redlands Health and Care Workforce Symposium. With the health and care sector facing critical workforce pressures (and being comprised of roughly 80–85% women) it is more important than ever that we address the real barriers skilled mums face when returning to work.
Speaking from my own overlapping experiences as a mum navigating the workforce, a small business owner, and an employer of a team of incredible Mum's, it was great to shine a light on what it takes to reduce turnover and keep incredible skilled talent in our industry.
A massive thank you to the and the for hosting such a vital conversation and inviting me to contribute. It's amazing to see the work going into continuing to build a stronger, more supportive local workforce 🤝✨
