Nearly half of mothers (45%) returning to their HR jobs believe they are victims of workplace inequality, according to a new survey.
The Training and Development Agency (TDA) report also found that, out of 11 careers, returning mothers ranked HR as the sixth most mum-friendly.
Teaching topped the poll, followed by jobs in the catering, retail and leisure industries. The legal profession came bottom.
The majority (83%) of HR female workers with young children are looking for a more flexible approach to work, but 24% did say they have adequate career development opportunities.
“Teaching is leading the way in offering a much more flexible way of working for mums returning to the workplace,” said Graham Holley, chief executive of the TDA.
