The False Tradeoff is a podcast for working parents, HR leaders and anyone committed to proving working parents can be successful at work AND at home - that it’s not an either/or tradeoff.
Each week, we dive into some of the most challenging, complex and sometimes controversial topics related to parental leave and navigating life as a working parent.
Because in order to break the false tradeoff, we need to address these topics head-on.
