Kind, Kegel und Karriere: Das ist die Passion von Melanie Pump, Expertin für Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf. Für sie sind familienfreundliche Arbeitsbedingungen der Schlüssel dafür, qualifizierte Bewerber zu finden. Viele Arbeitnehmerinnen und Arbeitnehmer mit Kindern sagen, dass ihnen familienfreundliche Angebote mindestens so wichtig sind wie die Höhe des Gehalts. Aber in Stellenanzeigen findet Familienfreundlichkeit kaum statt. Und dabei rechnet sich Familienfreundlichkeit: Unternehmen binden damit gute Mitarbeiter an sich. Das eröffnet Vorteile beim Wettbewerb um die besten Köpfe - gerade vor dem Hintergrund der demografischen Entwicklung.

Her website, melaniepump.com, includes more helpful insight on how businesses and employees can reach their full potential.In this episode….Melanie Pump rose from receptionist to CFO, her current position with Brane Inc, but the journey that sets her apart is the one she traveled through and out of personal setbacks, childhood trauma, and grief. Throughout her struggles she experienced insecurity and doubt as well as the positive potential that a healthy workplace could inject into her situation. It is the combination of her life experiences and personal understanding of both healthy and toxic workplaces that led her to write her book, ‘Detox: Managing Insecurity in the Workplace' during the pandemic.Melanie understands the great impact a healthy workplace can have on employees from within the structure itself. While she followed the finance path in her career journey, she always had a keen interest in the people and HR side of things. She has experienced and observed how insecurity can be bred in the workplace through a variety of overt and subtle ways and, in contrast, how a workplace can instead uplift and support employees and bring them to a place where they feel safe both physically and psychologically.In this episode of What CEOs Talk About, host Martin Hunter and Melanie Pump discuss the insights and lessons her book imparts. Melanie explains how low transparency in a job setting can lead to employees feeling insecure both in the role they play and in their overall job security. She advocates for clear and consistent communication as well as setting the “tone from the top” of positivity and inclusivity. She and Martin examine how C-Suite leaders can truly encourage staff and lead by creating healthy and productive workplaces.

Have you heard about the great resignation happening in the workplace right now? Here's what Google has to say about this term: The Great Resignation, a term first coined in 2019 by Texas A&M's Anthony Klotz to predict a mass, voluntary exodus from the workforce, is here, and it's quite real. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, during the months of April, May, and June 2021, a total of 11.5 million workers quit their jobs. And it's definitely not over. One of the reasons I believe that the Great Resignation is happening is that employees are not willing to accept toxic workplaces or places that don't really align with their values, what they believe they are worth, how they want to work, or where they want to take their careers. And what's interesting is that employees are not afraid to go and get it. The concept of a toxic workplace may not be new, but I think it's definitely top of mind. When I met Melanie Pump and learned that she's writing a book about detoxing our workplaces, I knew I needed to have her on Brave Women at Work. In this show, we talk about: • The physical and emotional symptoms of a toxic work environment • What steps we can take to resolve a toxic workplace; spoiler alert, it's not just a management issue • How toxicity can directly feed into Imposter Syndrome • How COVID-19 has created new toxicity at work and what we can do about it • Melanie's new book, Detox: Managing Insecurity in the Workplace Before my conversation with Melanie, I hadn't given much thought to toxicity in the workplace. Now I see my past work experiences and how we're moving through this Great Resignation period in an entirely new light!
