Infographic Thursday: Paid Maternity Leave

Check out today’s infographic from Women && Tech highlighting differences in maternity leave around the globe. The U.S is one of only a handful of countries not to offer mandatory paid leave (mothers are limited to unpaid leave via the FMLA and whatever employers choose to offer)… and the more I think about the reasons behind why this is, the more I am inclined to believe a change is necessary. Without going too far down any political rabbit holes… I think it’s nevertheless kosher to say that being at the bottom of this list isn’t okay, right?

…Let me know your thoughts in the comments section below, and as always if you like this infographic then follow Women && Tech on Twitter here (and the creator of the infographic – Designer and Illustrator Ivonne Karamoy – on Twitter here).

This has been a really hectic week for me, and I’ve put several other things on the backburner (including this blog) to juggle all of the balls in the air! This makes today’s infographic particularly timely. It’s always a good idea to make time to workout throughout the week. To this point, according to the folks at Paychex doing so will improve both your productivity in the workplace and long term health outcomes.

…So with that said, check out today’s infographic and then (doing as I say and not as I do) get to the gym and/or take a walk! And as always, if you like what you see in today’s infographic then follow its author on Twitter here.

hr, human resources

Check out this great infographic from Business-Management-Degree.net highlighting the most commonly observed leadership styles and their correlations (or lack thereof) with positive outcomes. I spend most of my time in the ‘democratic’ and ‘coaching’ modes, and it was interesting to read about some of the strengths and weaknesses of these approaches. What leadership style(s) do you use most often? The best performers flex into multiple styles as needed throughout the week:
