Corporate America is bleeding talent pretending the needs of working parents are asking for a perk, at the expense of being a profit engine. This week Heather Powers, author of The Power Lane: Why Keeping Moms in the Workforce REVS the Economy exposes this hypocrisy. "Women are not leaving the workforce, they're leaving the workplace." Let’s get real with the facts: The undeniable math: Companies losing parents are burning money. Replacement costs run 2x salary while teams flounder for months. Smart organizations are waking up. The data needs to demolish myths: Most productive employees? Parents with multiple kids. The talent shortage isn't theoretical—it's here, and businesses ignoring parent flexibility are losing their competitive edge. Stop apologizing for parenthood: How to dismantle outdated the "work vs. family" dichotomy. No more apologizing for Thursday soccer games— leverage those constraints into ruthless productivity. Your Ace: The uncomfortable truths: Company's stubbornness isn't just hurting parents—it's sabotaging shareholder value. The most expensive words in business? "This is how we've always done it."
