Seven reasons why Mum’s make brilliant employees – just in case you didn’t know!

While reading the online edition of Metro the other day I came across an article titled ‘7 reasons Mum’s make brilliant employees’ and read with a lot of interest and a smile on my face.

One of the reasons why my business partner and I created KnownFour is because there are hundreds of highly skilled, professional women out there who are struggling to get back into the workplace since having children and being on maternity leave.

Employers don’t always want to offer part-time hours and have huge expectations that the employee they knew before maternity leave is going to come back and be able to commit to long working hours and grueling schedules.

However, we feel that this is the completely wrong approach and is the reason why we encourage women back into the workplace by offering them the chance to work the hours that work around them.

As a business, our ethos is to create a work-life balance that works for each individual. We employ strong-minded, determined and motivated professionals who can work just as well away from the office, if not more so.

Plenty of research shows that people work smarter, not harder from home and that with limited distractions can actually work a full day in less time than if they were based in an office.

The article in Metro was a reminder of the key skills that Mum’s can bring into the workplace, from multi-tasking, working under pressure and meeting deadlines, to not being afraid of negotiating and having bags of stamina.
