A statement on Roe v Wade from Chris Parke, CEO and Teresa Hopke, CEO North America

Talking Talent was founded almost two decades ago to help advance women in the workplace. The relevance and urgency of our mission has never been greater. That’s because women advancing goes far beyond bigger promotions and paychecks. It’s also about ensuring that all women receive unbiased empathetic support when they need it. This requires the time and opportunity to effectively support their mental and emotional wellbeing in the wake of challenging news that impacts them directly – such as the US Supreme Court’s recent ruling on Roe v Wade. As we are experiencing, such news comes with profound shifts to our societal fabric and our perceived place within it, which will continue to impact us in months to come.

Regardless of individual opinions or values, we believe in the power of empathy to understand the challenges all of our employee’s face. Our commitment is to provide support, resources and information so they can make the decisions that are best for them and their families.

Talking Talent is redoubling our efforts to be a place where all women feel safe, respected and supported in whatever decisions they make about their lives and careers.

This is a pivotal moment in history. And how we as companies and leaders respond will determine whether we help or hinder progress for generations to come.
