EffWorks Global 2023: AI - Brand destroyer or brand builder?

A discussion between Serhat Ekinci and Simone Marquis, where they invite us to reflect on the value we place on bringing up children, and how this is mirrored in parental leave. 

They honestly discuss their own experiences of parental leave and the impact it has had on bonding with their children, and their work, as well as the need for greater transparency of people in positions of power taking parental leave, for it to be encouraged and normalised for everyone.
