This topic is going to be interesting, timely, and maybe a little confusing. Bear with us! We’ll get through it together.
The reason we’re engaging in this challenging topic is because it’s important. Millions of women have been making the difficult decision to leave the workforce. It’s important to dig deep and ask why.

How to join a Twitter Chat
A Twitter chat is a LIVE chat that takes place on Twitter. People “gather” at a certain day and time to talk about a certain topic. There is usually one or two people who moderate or host the chat, who post questions to guide the conversation.
Questions are all marked with a Q and labeled with numbers to help everyone keep track of the flow of the conversation. People responding to questions should mark their answers with an A and the corresponding number.
For example, the moderators/ hosts will post “Q1” and everyone will answer with tweets marked “A1.”Additionally, all Tweets – both questions and answers – will use the hashtag #HRforAll. That’s how we’ll all stay connected on Twitter during the chat.
