When Eliza Khuner, a former data scientist at Facebook, asked HR if she could work from home part-time after the birth of her third child, the response was swift and firm: no to working from home, no to working part-time, and no to taking extra leave.
“Tech companies should be leading the way around productivity and helping to combat the ‘always on’ culture by setting clearer boundaries around work and life, but that is rarely the case,” she says. “Instead, companies such as Facebook don’t even have a policy around working from home. What sort of message does that send?”
So how can mothers in tech continue to advance their careers? More flexibility, better training for returners, more comprehensive childcare or a change in organisational culture? A report by training provider Digital Mums, published in November last year, indicated that one in four mothers faced a skills gap that prevented them from going back to work after having children.
