Mothers in Business

Mothers in Business is a network for mothers who want to choose both family and career. We are advocating for a more family-friendly and equal working life. We offer our members know-how, networks and peer support.

Currently, we have over 4000 members and hundreds of volunteers throughout Finland.

At MiB moms from diverse backgrounds support each other to find their own path in job search, skills development and work-life balance.

Read more about our actives’ integration process until the end of MiB International project in August 2024.

Work and family belong together

Balancing work and family life can be hard. Yet, work and family are complementary areas in life and their combination an everyday occurence for the most of us. Starting a family, peak years or living in family life should not slow down, hinder or prevent anyone's career development.

We actively influence society and working life to promote the status of mothers and family-friendliness and to eliminate discriminatory and unequal structures.

How to network with other moms?

Mothers in Business is a network of talented women from different backgrounds and professional fields. We share a passion for developing skills, advancing our careers and combining work with family life.

Mingle is a free-form networking and peer-to-peer meeting concept designed to increase members’ low-threshold interaction and networking locally as well as nationwide. Any member can host a Mingle. Mingles can be, for example, themed meetings, lunches and meetings without a specific speaker and organised venue.
