New York, NY – August 26, 2022

WeWork a leading flexible space provider, and Laddrr, a new platform that aims to prevent mid-career drop-off among working moms, announced an initiative that strengthens Laddrr’s commitment to reducing the motherhood penalty while increasing working parents’ visibility to WeWork jobs and flexible workspace.  WeWork has agreed to provide Laddrr users with improved visibility to available opportunities at the flexible space provider and to cross-list relevant, open employment positions on the Laddrr Talent Hub platform as part of the agreement. WeWork roles include Community, Facilities, Security, Sales, Technology, Finance, and the People team, and are available in Austin, Bellevue, Boston, Denver, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, San Francisco, and Seattle.

WeWork and Laddrr understand the unique burdens and obstacles faced by working moms throughout their careers. The motherhood penalty, which often leads to a pay gap, has long been an issue that needs to be addressed. Through this initiative, both companies are committed to equipping working moms with the tools and resources they need to succeed. WeWork will play a crucial role by offering increased visibility to open roles within their organization. By cross-listing relevant job positions on the Laddrr Talent Hub platform, working moms will have greater access to a variety of functions and levels of flexibility. This ensures that parents can find positions that align with their individual needs and circumstances.

In addition to job opportunities, WeWork will provide working parents with a significant advantage – 50% off WeWork All Access membership fees for three months. WeWork All Access is a subscription-style product that grants access to numerous WeWork locations worldwide. This flexibility enables working parents to choose the workspace that best suits their unique work schedules and location requirements. By offering discounted access to WeWork’s extensive network of flexible workspaces, this initiative aims to facilitate a seamless transition for working moms returning to office settings. It recognizes the importance of providing a supportive and flexible environment that accommodates the demands of parenting while ensuring professional growth and development.

The collaboration between WeWork and Laddrr represents a significant step towards creating a more inclusive and supportive work environment for working moms. By providing increased visibility to job opportunities and offering flexible workspace solutions, this initiative aims to reduce the motherhood penalty and empower working parents to pursue successful careers while balancing their family responsibilities.
