In this TEDx, Anna Steffeney, recognized thought leader, talks about Why the U.S. Needs Paid Parental Leave.

With a background in international corporate leadership in finance and technology, Anna is a passionate entrepreneur who is now the CEO and Founder of LeaveLogic. She focuses on improving the experience and lives for working families.

After the birth of her two children—one born in Europe, the second born in the United States—the glaring difference in parental leave policies prompted her to launch LeaveLogic. Their mission is to help normalize leave in the workplace. LeaveLogic revolutionizes how employees and companies manage the family leave process. Their solutions empower employees to confidentially navigate and plan the best leave scenario for their unique situation, while saving companies time, money and effort.
