She Mentors

In this podcast episode I chat with Gemma Lloyd the co-founder of Work180, a jobs platform with a difference: Work180 publishes information around employer’s pay equity, flexible working and paid parental leave policies, so you can suss them out before you even apply for a job. 

So for lots of women out there this is a fantastic resource because you can do your homework and see which companies that support diversity, inclusion and equality. 

Both Gemma and I are currently pregnant which naturally steers us in the direction of talking about paid parental leave – not ‘maternity leave’ which is just for women, but why it’s important for men and same-same sex couples to have this kind of support. 

We discuss:

👉 Why paid parental leave is more important than ‘maternity’ leave

👉 How to broach the subject of parental leave with your employer

👉 Return-to-work policies and flexible working

👉 Why companies need to be transparent about their policies

👉 Unconscious bias and the Gender Pay Gap

👉 What the top companies are doing to support diversity and equality

👉 The importance of elevating women in the workplace

Gritty Pretty is an independent beauty brand with a 'no bullshit' approach. It aims to educate and inspire its readers, while also offering a shoppable edit of products that are actually worth your money.

I saw Eleanor present at a conference earlier this year and was SO impressed with her approach to business. She regularly turns down high-paying brands if they don’t align with her values and says integrity is at the heart of everything she does.

She shares some great insights into scaling and ‘finding your voice’ in a crowded market - great advice for entrepreneurs, business owners and influencers looking to build their own beauty brands.
