Across a range of professions, women continue to have an exceedingly hard time combining career and family. It is no surprise that women wanting to climb the corporate ladder ARE faced with a very personal choice: CAREER OR FAMILY.

MOTHERS IN LEADERSHIP PRESENTS INNOVATIVE PERSPECTIVES TO LEAD MOTHERS AND COMPANIES TO BETTER SOLUTIONS. 

Worldwide companies have only recently woken up to the issues of women during maternity. It will be interesting to see whether they can build on the strong female talent, to achieve greater opportunities, balance, meet the Millenium Development Goals and to be part of the forefront of social change and humanity's sustainable development.

Business leaders increasingly recognize the crucial role employees play in driving and delivering sustainable business strategy. Companies are integrating sustainability into corporate culture and fostering sustainable solutions capabilities. 

Attracting and retaining the best talent is a top concern amongst global CEOs. As the war for talent escalates, even companies in burgeoning labour markets can no longer afford to limit career opportunities for mothers. Companies which succeed in the 21st century will be those who realise the full potential of women becoming mothers and make the necessary investments towards nurturing their talent within their organization.  The emerging force of mothers in the 21st century is part of a major social and economic change which has to be acknowledged by any organisation looking for a competitive edge. 

Companies must drop the exclusive link between mothers and children. Companies would benefit from including maternity facilitation programs, rather than create a working mother problem. If countries want people to have children, they need to enable them to combine careers with maternity. This means that implementing maternity facilitation programs will reduce the devastating impact of maternity in women that are facing a huge demographic challenge and companies that are facing a talent shortage.
