off. it s simply not good enough to offer parental leave. the way you design it, the culture you have in the workplace, does it encourage dads to actually take paid leave or does it gaslight them when they do because that s what we think is actually happening. the third thing, one of the big things we recommend is finally rooting out the motherhood penalty. you get a premium but even if you take one year off work, most moms, lose almost 40% of their salary. because of care taking. that is simply wrong and we have to root out the motherhood penalty once and for all. reshma, you know and i know that when a list of recommendations like this comes out people like you and i grab them and walk by an hr department and drop them on someone s desk but in order tore these changes to go into effect it takes buy-in from the very top. how do you accomplish that? yeah. listen, we can t go back to normal and employers need to hear that loud and clear. they re not going to do it for us. they re no
