What I found interesting about your post is that, even within a female-dominated organization, there is still the struggle of inclusion for women resuming part-time work after maternity leave. Unfortunately, there is still the mindset that making accommodations for family means lower productivity and contribution. I actually think that when proper accommodations are made, a person is more productive during their work time because they don’t have the stress of performing at the full-time level (as you referenced about the person feeling that had to be at all meetings)! It’s great that you are working towards more inclusion. You have also reminded me of the importance of clearly communicating expectations and not making assumptions. Thanks.
