Should having children affect your career progression? Does taking a leave of absence influence your bosses' perception of you? Do you avoid telling your boss or prospective employer that you're planning on starting a family? 2 guests from Morrow Batteries take charge today; Adriana NavarroSuarez (R&D Manager) and Naja Boone (Director of Marketing & Communications). Adri is completing an amazing piece of research into how a 'leave of absence' affects careers in the battery & energy storage field. She has a survey open until midJune 2024 and welcomes people to participate! You'll find a link to the survey in the comments. We discuss this, as well as part 1 of her research project, which is an article titled; A League of Our Own, A Perspective on How to Start and Keep the Flow of Women in Energy Storage. Tune in if you'd like to hear more about it, as well as the work Morrow are doing to create a culture of belonging. We provide tips on many Diversity, Equity & Inclusion topics, including how to increase the diversity of your applicants and talent pool.
