Casey: What are the new ideas in the book, Leveraging the New Human Capital?
Burud: The book comes at work-life (both what it is and the rationale for it) from a completely different perspective. As a work-life person said to me, “Typically, we say, ‘Here are the practices we think companies should adopt, and the evidence to support them.’ You’ve come at it from a new angle and say, ‘Here’s how the business environment has changed, and these responses are critical to business survival.’”

Both Sides Now: Why Career Women are Quitting Jobs and Heading Home
By Pamela Stone, Associate Professor of Sociology, Hunter College and Graduate Center, CUNY
High-achieving professional women who’ve headed home to care for their children full-time have been the subject of recent media frenzy, but my scholarly interest in them predated their “media moment.” My interest was piqued when, through participant observation (otherwise known as life), I discovered—in the school hallways, on the soccer fields, and during all the down time of motherhood—that a lot of the women I knew in my suburban hometown as “just moms” had once led very different lives...
