This Woman CEO Is Changing The Rules And Building An Empire

Leave it to rule-breaker and multi-tasker Stacey Bendet to totally
get that flexibility is the key to retaining talented women in the
workplace. Love this!!

“Alice and Olivia offers employees eight weeks of maternity leave but
Bendet is focused on employee retention and believes that maintaining a
flexible approach to the policy is critical: “We organize things around
people.” Bendet points to an employee who has Fridays off and she is
open to employees doing what she did – returning to work quickly and
working part time for five months instead of taking eight straight weeks
off. “You have to learn what works best for them,” she emphasizes.
Bendet is proud that 93% of her employees who have had babies return
after to Alice and Olivia after their leave.”
