The Power of Caring: Why Companies Should Value Caregivers More with Blessing Adesiyan

Let's face it, caregivers have been the biggest unsung heroes of our time. Working mothers have had to juggle career responsibilities with providing for their families, often at the expense of their own well-being and mental health. It's high time that companies take notice of this silent sacrifice made by women as caregivers and start making real change in the way society values care work. In this podcast episode we are joined by Blessing Adesiyan, the Founder of Mother Honestly, a complete ecosystem reshaping the future of women and families at home and in the workplace. Prior to founding Mother Honestly, she spent 15+ years in Fortune 100 companies such as Microsoft, HP, Cargill, PepsiCo, DuPont, and BASF where she built operational excellence framework across the United States, Europe, Africa, Middle East, and Asia. We discuss why the corporate world doesn’t understand how to effectively support employee caregivers, especially working moms, how women are the biggest gatekeepers when it comes to caring for children and protecting men's time, and what we can start doing now to make real change in the way society values care work. Resources We Shared: Mother Honestly- Mother Honestly is an ecosystem that propels women forward in motherhood, work and life. The resources we curate, conversations we foster, and community we cultivate allow women to thrive in and beyond motherhood.
