In this episode of 'Where's My Money,' Emma McLean, founder of Works for Everyone and host of How to Smash the Motherhood Penalty, discusses the systemic undervaluing of caregiving that results in the motherhood penalty. Emma explains how the current system impacts women's careers, salaries, and retirement savings. She emphasises the importance of couples having candid conversations about family roles and responsibilities, advocating for both systemic and workplace changes, and supporting each other to mitigate these challenges. 

Emma's Bio

Emma Mclean is the mother of three teenagers and founder of Works for Everyone, a working parent consultancy. She founded her business in 2019 following a 20-year career in corporate strategy where she experienced first-hand how hard it was to have a career and a family. Inspired by this, her business has a suite of services that are all about putting a care wrap around parents during the hardest parts of their career.  In 2023 she launched her successful podcast “How to Smash the Motherhood Penalty” where she talks to humans who are actively working to change the system that creates financial penalties that only mothers pay. And in 2024 she launched the first NZ Part Time Power List – to shine a light on those senior roles in NZ that are career building, not side stepping.  She is alumni of the 2021 New Zealand Leadership Programme, and most importantly is a lifelong Swiftie.
