Recommendation

After Sarah Lux-Lee had her first baby, she wondered why her two worlds – that of a high-powered intellectual property lawyer, and that of a dedicated parent – had so little overlap. Wouldn’t it be better if people brought their whole selves to work? This idea spurred her to create workplace development organization Mindr. In this Google Talk, Lux-Lee and Google’s director of global partnerships, Bethanie Baynes, discuss why maintaining a sharp divide between work and home isn’t only impossible, it’s undesirable. Employees do their most creative work when they can draw inspiration from their diverse personal experiences.

Take-Aways

  • Companies benefit when employees bring their full selves to work.
  • Mentorship is vital to creating diverse workplaces where employees feel a sense of belonging.
  • Bring your whole self to work – even if it’s online.
