Over the past few years, businesses have embraced digital transformation with the promise of exponential productivity, revolutionary customer experiences and unprecedented innovation. However, the reality has been far more complex. Instead of achieving seamless operations, many companies find themselves in a web of siloed applications and inefficient processes.

On average, enterprises use over 473 SaaS applications, leading to fragmented workflows and lost productivity. Despite significant investments in cloud transformation, few enterprises have seen a return on investment. The reliance on outdated 20th-century platforms has left businesses searching for a better way forward.

The 5 Top Maternity Leave Tips for Expectant Moms

As the year comes to end so does my maternity leave.

With my first baby I only got 3 months and I’m really grateful that with my second girl I got 2.5 months more thanks to ServiceNow’s global maternity leave policy and some accumulated PTO.

Many people think that maternity leave is free time to chill and relax.

This can’t be further from the truth. Rather your time is spent feeding, getting to sleep, changing diapers, washing clothes and cooking, and at the end of the day you wonder where your day really went.

For an overachiever like me who likes to be busy, it’s been tough not to be able to say read more books, brush up on knowledge for work, finish courses I’ve wanted to do and so much more…

But I’ve also learned that there is time for everything and that every moment with my little baby is way too precious.

To all the expectant moms, I would say:

Style Updates for A More Professional Image

People who know me also know that I've always had a thing for fashion. Over the years, my style has evolved to be a lot less eclectic than what it used to be. I used to love putting bright colours on. I still do but in my thirties, with two kids and an advanced tech career, I find myself choosing more neutral pieces and focusing on elegance and comfort. 

The tech industry is generally very relaxed when it comes to clothes. You'll find lots of people in hoodies and trainers but in my opinion, the higher you climb the corporate ladder, the more you need to consider your looks and what you wear. There's nothing sexier and more powerful than a woman in a stylish suit and heels. 

So if you are thinking about revamping your work look and style to make you more professional, it won't be just a change in appearance but a powerful tool to enhance your confidence and take control of your professional image. Adapting your look to your career responsibilities can give you the upper hand and make you look and feel more confident about the working day and the achievements ahead of you, especially if you want to transition into a more executive role. 

Here are a few ideas of what you can do as a female:
