Dear Human Resources: · 2026-04-15 · 16 min
Today’s conversation sits right at the intersection of people, policy, and performance. We're going to focus on Parental Leave Policies. Our guest is Beth Wanner, the founder of Mother Cover, an agency that provides interim and fractional leadership coverage to help organizations maintain momentum while employees take parental or caregiver leave. Beth brings a rare and powerful dual perspective to this work. She’s led teams as a tech executive, and she’s also navigated the personal transformation of becoming a mother. That combination gave her a front-row seat to a persistent workplace tension: how organizations can genuinely support employees through major life transitions without sacrificing business continuity. Host: Marie-Line Germain, Ph.D. Mixing: Kelly Minnis
