Empowering Lives

Transforming Lives with Mom's Hierarchy of Needs

 At Mom’s Hierarchy of Needs, we not only create a community, but we also generate a positive and transformative impact on the professional and personal lives of our members. Our unique approach and innovative tools have led to significant results that have resonated in all aspects of the lives of those who are part of our community.

In our pandemic study:

  • 97% of parents in our study lack the psychological safety to ask their managers for what they really need.
  • Nearly half (48%) cite doing not as well as asual o ‘terribly’ as workers.
  • 75% surveyed are doing either ‘terribly’ or ‘not as well as usual’ at self-care.

“Our leadership team began working with Leslie during the Covid19 pandemic to better understand our employees as caregivers and how everyone was faring. Leveraging her knowledge and experience in leadership positions at organizations including Care.com, Leslie also enabled us to identify additional ways to support our employees’ wellness needs and provide resources to promote healthier and happier work environments for all. Partnering with Leslie was invaluable as the ongoing pandemic unearthed a variety of unique and evolving challenges. As part of our continued enhancements to our employee handbook leave policies through a DEI lens, we’ve embedded the importance of caregiving for our loved ones, ourselves, and others in our communities. Thank you, Leslie!”
