“Are you done having kids?”

In the latest episode of INclusiverse, we welcome Beth (Head of Field Training and Operations) and Lauren (Account Director) to share their experiences as full-time working mums in leadership positions. From navigating maternity leave to balancing professional responsibilities with motherhood, Lauren and Beth offer us an insight into returning to work and career progression.

This episode reinforced the message that statutory parental leave just isn't enough. We've started to enhance our parental leave packages, and we're committed to making this a reality for everyone 💙

If you're a working mum, thinking of becoming one, or want to make your workplace more INclusive, then tune into this episode.

Join us for our very first INclusiverse Live episode, celebrating International Women's Day.

In Part 1, Lindsay Forster, CEO of Shepper, and Blue Square’s Chief Strategy Officer, Kirsti Horne sit down to delve into Lindsays’s career. We tackle the topics the women at Blue Square specifically requested: the confidence gap, mentorship and sponsorship, and career strategy.

Lindsay brings a wealth of experience, having boldly transitioned from Financial Services to the entrepreneurial world four years ago. Before becoming CEO at Shepper, she held impressive leadership positions including Chief Marketing Officer at Aviva and Marketing Director roles at major insurance companies.

Her journey perfectly illustrates a fearless approach to challenges and her commitment to surrounding herself with the right people - a philosophy that has been key to her success as a leader in business.

Don't miss this powerful conversation that kicks off our INclusiverse Live series.
