Did you know that up to the age of about 30, women keep pace with men in the workforce but after that a hefty gap opens up? A World Economic Forum report from 2015 found that a large number of countries – Ireland included – “have failed to reap the returns on a pool of highly educated and skilled women”. To discuss why that is and how returning to work can be made better for women, Kathy Sheridan was joined by Karin Lanigan, the Manager of Career Development and Recruitment Services for Chartered Accountants Ireland and Elaine Russell, career coach with Women Returners Ireland.

In the second part of the show, Jennifer Ryan speaks to Aoife McElwain about her book Slow at Work, which is packed full of advice on how to deal with things like imposter syndrome, your annoying inner critic and burnout.
