Your best employees aren't leaving because they became parents—they're leaving because you don't know how to support them.

Mason Donovan and Mark Kaplan reveal shocking research: 100% of parents believe becoming a parent made them better employees—more empathetic, resilient, and organized. Yet the "motherhood penalty" persists (4% income decrease per child), while men get a 6% bonus.

The culprit? Well-intentioned managers making career-killing decisions "on behalf of" parents without including them.

In this conversation, Mason and Mark (Managing Partners of The Dagoba Group and authors of The Parenthood Advantage) share:

• The manager assumption trap driving talent away
• Why 95% of companies fail to support working parents adequately
• Three organizational quick wins to stop the talent bleed
• How parents can own their leave and advocate effectively

In this urgent conversation, Kim Bohr and change management expert Maria Ross reveal why HR has approximately six months to claim their seat at the AI transformation table—or risk watching technology teams make people decisions without you.

Drawing on SparkEffect's groundbreaking Trust Study showing only 36% of organizations emerge stronger from disruption, they expose the hidden cost of treating AI as "just a tech project." You'll discover the exact conversation starters that get HR heard, why empathetic leadership drives 61% more innovation, and which crisis interventions actually preserve trust (hint: transparency about uncertainty backfires).

This isn't about ChatGPT adoption. It's about positioning HR as the architect of human-centered transformation—before someone else defines your organization's future.

Your direct managers are your organization's greatest trust asset—and your most dangerous vulnerability during crisis. New research reveals why.

In partnership with cultural anthropologist Dr. Aaron Delgaty, SparkEffect conducted the most comprehensive study on organizational trust during disruption. The findings flip conventional crisis management wisdom: 71% of employees experienced significant workplace disruption in the past 24 months, yet only 36% emerged with stronger trust.

What separated the winners from the losers? How leadership—especially frontline managers—handled the critical moments when trust was most fragile.

Discover why manager trust takes the biggest hit during crisis despite outperforming organizational leadership in normal times, the intervention that's twice as likely to strengthen trust (it costs nothing), and how "trust elasticity" determines which organizations bend versus break under pressure.

This isn't theory. This is data-driven insight into the leadership capability that will define competitive advantage in an era of constant disruption.
