Last school year....we were doing what we could to make it to the light at the end of the tunnel. The summer away from distance learning was a breath of fresh air. And now the new school year....we're in it for the long haul.

"Suited for advocacy". I love that phrase

Appreciate the advocacy from my NASA colleagues!

@Vernica - Yes! Knowing that we are likely managing a full school year from home is daunting. Even though we made the choice to keep our girl home, it’s still tough to swallow.

This article addresses the realities of women being pushed out of the workforce. It highlights the story of a tech CEO who had to shut down her company to take care of her son.https://www.thelily.com/i-had-to-choose-being-a-mother-with-no-child-care-or-summer-camps-women-are-being-edged-out-of-the-workforce/

Karen Anderson, most interested in networking about ERG's and how to get them off the ground.

QUIET FRIDAYS

@Mandice We keep it chill on Fridays, too. It’s a life saver.

@ Shelley I wish we did that!

I love the idea of quiet Fridays

No meetings or important deadlines

Someone isn't muted

That’s right! Our previous normal was terrible.

SO true

Normal wasn't necessarily working for everyone....so very true.

There are so many ways in which 'normal' should not return.

Wow.

"empathy and grace" -- yes! Extend that to co-workers as well!

I love that

DEI folks know that normal is boring and stalls growth and progress. We have the opportunity to write the better normal (as Jorge said last week)

8-9 am and 3-4 pm are my no meeting zones.

Yes let's build a beter normal moving forward for all of us

I truly appreciate the empathy from my supervisor. She doesn't have kids but has a pre-teen niece that helps her sister with

I agree @shavondalyngivens

Whew - yes.

That's daunting

Yessss

Hi again everyone - I am going to paste below information on someone who is studying DEI and is looking for an internship…

Jack Fitzpatrick is 19 years old. He has overcome many challenges in life due to his autism and is now a champion for diversity and inclusion. He has sat on several boards to represent many forgotten voices. Jack is currently studying Education and Inclusion at John Moores University in Liverpool and is looking for a work placement to take place between the 18th of January and the 5th of February 2021. It needs to be virtual due to Covid 19 and needs to focus on the development of a project associated with diversity and inclusion. He would need a sponsor within the company he works for and the project should be mutually beneficial to both Jack and the partner company. As this project is virtual he can consider international projects and the company can be based anywhere. If you feel you can help please let me know and I can put you in touch with Jack. Here is his linkedin profile. https://www.linkedin.com/in/jack-fitzpatrick-53851b1aa/

This article was posted by one of our young female scientists in the childcare network channel. Why we are particularly concerned about our STEM workforce"Female scientists and those with young dependents are disproportionately affected"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-020-0921-y

QUESTION: I agree that the managers have a huge responsibility throughout this. 1) how do you keep your managers from burning out?? 2) how do you best equip your managers to have these convos around mental health, flexibility, etc.

An insightful article by a mom on how employers can help right nowhttps://www.workingmother.com/erin-thomas-twitter-thread-employers-childcare-crisis?utm_source=internal&utm_medium=email&tp=i-1NGB-Et-QJE-15MJcF-1c-16ODZ-1c-15MEMR-l50CK95fFM-1NiHbm

ERG - Employee Resource Group

I was sent in a downward spiral, was diagnosed with acute stress reaction in Jan 2019. My son was extremely ill, my mother in law had emergency surgery and when I asked for some support from my manager saying I am extremely stressed out, I was told you are just a mom...

It made me rethink my commitment to my employer

Mother Honestly put together a crisp description of how the pandemic impacts working parents. You can find it on their Instagram page. A perfect business case/justification framework for employees or HR/DEI professionals looking to move forward on this one and make the pitch to leadership.Based on a Boston Consulting Group (BCG) study on Easing the COVID-19 Burden on Working Parents. published on May 21

That’s. lot Gurjit and that response is most unfortunate. I am sorry to hear that. Your re-evaluation is understandable.

Awareness, Advocacy, and Action is so important

This article came out fairly early in the pandemic. This is one of the best articles I have read on this topic - it says parents are being totally ground down in this failed systemFrom the NYT - In the COVID-19 Economy, You Can Have a Kid or a Job. You Can't Have Both.

Love the discussion! I have to jump off but plan to catch up on the recording.

We are using Bright Horizon's as a partner. They provide virtual tutoring, virtual sitters, etc. They partner with SitterCity as well. It has been VERY well received from our parent community dealing with many of these similar challenges

Keeping managers from burning out is a challenge. Our organization anticipated that supervisors and managers may not be comfortable sharing in the existing Networks. As a result, we surveyed First Line Supervisors to ascertain how we can support them. Our HR organization is proactively meeting with them periodically and working to respond to the survey results.

Another McAllister!

QUESTION: (great to hear your energy and insights--thanks). Curious what is the role Executive Sponsors are playing at NASA and while everyone is adjusting to a "current normal" is leadership fully engaged in "hearing" the insights on employee experience? What's making a difference brining Leaders along?

Hooray - Shout out to Lola and Pilar. And that West Coast connection!!!

Hello Lola and Pilar....Sharing here the link to learn more about Project Matriarchs: https://www.projectmatriarchs.com/

@Shavondalyn THANK YOU for that NY Times article

Biased here....West Coast=Best Coast

Whew

facts

The expectation!

Also, the audacity

Is anyone else thinking, "I wish I was this cool and selfless in college?!"

100% Rachael

As School Begins, Mothers Working Retail Jobs Feel Extra Burden

Absolutely, Rachael. This is such an incredible idea to fill a pressing need.

@Rachael it's so incredibly inspiring and mind blowing to me!

@Rachael --- blown away, in full agreement.

I am using two of the Project Matriarch tutors and they are FABULOUS!!!

Wait, this is a FREE service?!

@Shelley--I heard Free for Moms, but also some funding models to make it work

This is awesome

I am completely committed to exploring this. I have a 10 and 12 year-old with attention challenges. I see such benefit here to so many unique parenting and distance learning challenges

This is just amazing. Talk about filling a gap and solving a real problem.

QUESTION - Is this available across the U.S. and is it stronger in certain markets?

This is an amazing opportunity.

QUESTION - How can we support and help with connecting you students?

QUESTION - how can we help and how can we spread the word?

These are wonderful ideas and it brings generations together for a mutual goal!

Yes @ Dikua. It's just a fabulous idea they are making happen

How do college students sign up if they're interested in supporting such a great idea?

Sounds like the ultimate Khan Academy!

Offer: I would happily volunteer to help you review resumes, interviews, and placement on with students and/or parents. Would love to work as an advisor or help

I would love to mentor you in this. Mom and business owner. shelley@foldedowl.com 405-596-0623.

Does the Project Matriarchs website describe how you vet college students for “offender”, predator propensities?

Great questions, Quincy

A great article on Eve Rodsky’s work about gender equity in the homehttps://www.workingmother.com/eve-rodsky-card-game-prevents-mothers-from-being-default-task-handler?utm_source=internal&utm_medium=email&tp=i-1NGB-Et-QgH-16cnCo-1c-16ODZ-1c-16ci4I-l54rL4Tjsa-L5Pvo

excellent point Quincy

great point, Quincy. Thank you!

How do we get the recording to share with family and friends. I have already sent text messages to family that could probably use the support as well as families who have college students who may be interested.

Thank you Quincy

Thank you, Quincy -- yes, great question

great points
