After Mother's Day, it is essential to reflect on the persistent challenges faced by professional women who decide to balance their careers with motherhood. In our company, we recognize the importance of supporting our employees in all stages of life, especially during this multifaceted experience.

Despite advancements, harmful stereotypes continue to surround mothers in the workplace, and it is crucial to break down these barriers. In a survey conducted by Robert Half on LinkedIn, 55% of participants identified balancing career and family as the biggest challenge for professional mothers.

We are pleased to note that companies are evolving, with 58% of them stating they have clear policies to promote gender equality, according to our recent research. In our company, we focus on inclusive policies that benefit all stages of life, with special attention to the needs of mothers.

We believe that the greatest support companies can offer is providing flexibility, attention, and continuous support. In our company, this translates into practices that value the balance between work and personal life. Additionally, we understand that motherhood is a long-term commitment, and our dedication is reflected in initiatives throughout the year.

We understand that continuous support is essential for the professional and personal success of our employees, especially for mothers. By adopting inclusive and flexible practices, we contribute to a more egalitarian and welcoming work environment.

Let's celebrate not only Mother's Day but every day where we recognize and value the unique contribution of all mothers in the professional world. Motherhood is a source of strength, and in our company, we are committed to providing the necessary support for all mothers to reach their full potential.
