Motherhood is not an interruption in a professional journey, but a transition that companies, managers and individuals can learn to approach differently.

In this episode of Bench-Mark, Sonia Zappitelli, co-founder of La Luna del Grano, explains how the benefit corporation supports organizations through a cultural shift aimed at embracing parenthood and reducing the number of new mothers leaving the workforce.

Born in part from its founder’s own experience of motherhood, La Luna del Grano works with parents and managers before, during and after the transition to parenthood, helping to reshape the way it is experienced and perceived within organizations.

Because social impact can also be seen in a new mother returning to work without fearing that her career will be penalized, a new father feeling free to fully experience parenthood, and policies and certifications translating into tangible, lasting change.
