What is a mom worth on the job market? PRICELESS in my opinion , but if one had to put a value on it - $117,000.

 

Thank you Salary.com for paying attention to one of the most important if not the most important jobs in the world, that of a Mom!

 

A quick excerpt from the study reads:

 

The biggest driver of a mom's theoretical salary is the amount of overtime pay she'd receive for working more than 40 hours a week. The 18,000 moms surveyed about their typical week reported working 94.4 hours - meaning they'd be spending more than half their working hours on overtime. Working moms reported an average 54.6 hour "mom work week" besides the hours they spent at paying jobs.

 

At Knowledge Infusion, part of our culture is to enforce a work-life balance, even though sometimes may not seem like it. A large commitment is made to allow parents to focus on the family as well as continue to advance their career in a rewarding, fast-paced and ever changing environment.

 

We are very proud of our MOM's within Knowledge Infusion and I publically want to thank them for all that they do.

 

 

Another infusion of knowledge (and thanks)...

Just wanted to pick up on the work-life thread of your post, Jason. While watching a debate about the inflation-adjusted price of oil that aired on CNBC last night I deduce that we have yet one more reason to be appreciate the unbelievable dedication and diligence of working mothers.

 

While we are near inflation-adjusted highs in gas and heating oil - and probably headed higher - the major difference between the crisis in the 80's and what we're witnessing today is that the price of fuel represents a lower percentage of the average household disposable income today than it did then.

 

Hopefully, we'll all get some relief at the pump due to prices coming down. Independent of that, however, I have to imagine that rise in disposable income called out by Larry Kudlow on CNBC has MUCH to do with an increasing percentage of Mom's taking care of business outside the home. Just one of the countless reasons to appreciate your Mom.

Thank you Jason for publicly acknowledging the Mom’s of Knowledge Infusion!

 

Work-life balance is often the hardest thing to achieve—especially for moms. But having an employer who recognizes the importance of family, and offers the flexibility that allows an employee to be both a better mom and a better worker is a huge benefit.

 

As an employer, do you have a culture that would attract a mom? I’d be interested to hear from the moms out there what the most important “Mom” benefits are that you want or already have from your employer.

 

I’ll start with: I am the only full-time working mom that can participate in my kindergartner’s field trips and work in the classroom when needed. Other working mothers don’t have the flexibility to leave work for a few hours without it being looked at as a negative, or that they are not putting in 100% at work.

When I returned from maternity leave at Workday, I brought my 16 week old baby girl with me to a week long corporate sales event. My employer accomodated my daughter and allowed me longer breaks to breastfeed her. It was one of the best meetings I can remember because I wasn't stressed out about leaving her at home!

Thanks for the post. I wish there were more organizations like Workday that provided the freedom for Mothers like that.

 

Cheers and have a special day
