Visible Parenthood Reveals Company Culture

Motherhood is personal — but the way organizations respond to it is cultural. In this episode of Change That Works , Alexandra Popescu-Zorica speaks with Jannina Hämäläinen from ICG Innotiimi Finland about visible parenthood, organizational culture, and what truly supports working parents beyond policies and good intentions. Together, they explore: • Why motherhood still impacts women’s careers more than men’s • What visible parenthood reveals about workplace culture • Why flexibility and psychological safety matter more than ever • How organizations can retain talent by supporting different life stages • Why success after children may need redefining Drawing from both lived experience and research, Janni shares what it has been like to combine part-time consulting work with life as a mother of three small children — including bringing her baby to international trainings and work events. This episode is for leaders, parents, HR professionals, and anyone interested in building organizations where people can thrive in different stages of life.
