Working Mother Media Launches Research Institute

Hot off the 25^th anniversary of the pioneering Working Mother 100 Best Companies in October, Working Mother Media announces the creation of the Working Mother Research Institute (WMRI). Core to Working Mother Media’s mission of supporting cultural change, the WMRI tracks best practices in Corporate America and around the global to deliver the thought-provoking research needed to push forward new ideas for supporting and advancing working mothers at work and home.

Working Mother insider Jennifer Owens has been tasked as Director of the WMRI, reporting directly to Working Mother Media President Carol Evans. A longtime researcher and award-winning journalist, Owens formerly served as Senior Director, Editorial Research & Initiatives of Working Mother magazine and has been with the organization for three years.

“Understanding the challenges and concerns of working mothers is paramount to providing the programs and support they need to thrive at work—and at home,” said Owens. “In addition to Working Mother Best Companies, which has been the impetus for major advancements by America’s leading companies, the Working Mother Research Institute will deliver studies on issues ranging from flex-time and worklife balance to company culture and how moms make choices in this country and around the world.”

With unique insight into this powerful and decision-making demographic of working women, Working Mother Media, a division of the international media company Bonnier, has attracted a number of high-profile partners in advancing its research. In 2010, Working Mother Media released What Moms Think: The Working Mother Report with the support of Ernst & Young, IBM and Procter & Gamble. Other 2010 research projects were supported by Texas Instruments, WellStar and Deloitte, including a study of professional women in India.

“Working Mother has been amassing research for over 25 years now, and the data we’ve collected offers an unprecedented look at the advancement of women in the workplace,” added Evans. “The Working Mother Research Institute allows others to tap into this tremendous resource, while also harnessing new research efforts that are bigger, better and more comprehensive than ever before.”

2011 will see the release of several new reports, including What Moms Choose: The Working Mother Report, a follow-up to 2010’s What Moms Think. Upcoming issues of Working Mother will share two new offshoots of Working Mother’s powerful Best Companies initiatives: 10 Best Companies for Women’s Advancement (February/March) and 10 Best Companies for Kids (August/September). The Working Mother Flex Primer, a 200+-page book, will provide business, HR and diversity leaders with a clear understanding on the best ways to serve an increasingly agile and global workforce.

Glee Star Styles at the 2011 SAG Awards

The Glee cast lost out on best TV Cast Ensemble but they still looked great hitting up the 2011 SAG Awards red carpet.

Lea Michele dared to bare in a really wide cute Oscar de la Renta dress that was heavily-beaded.

Lucky Lea had $1 million-worth of Tiffany's jewelry to complete her look.

It was one of her usual sweet frocks (this one a Chanel HC design) but Dianna Agron turned it sultry with smoky-eyed make-up, a sleek up-do and black platform pumps.

Amber Riley went for dramatic glam in her sweeping black gown from Anne Barge.

And Heather Morris (aka cheerleader Brittany) was truly beautiful in a princessy-style strapless Romona Keveza gown.

Eva Longoria's SAG Awards Look

Looking like she'd fit right in with the Kardashian family, Eva Longoria looked ultra luxe as she went down the SAG Awards red carpet on January 30.

The presenter wore a creamy Georges Hobeika gown which draped perfectly.

The up-do added some Grecian glamour and showed off her sparkling Neil Lane earrings to perfection.

Overall Rating - 10/10 Eva couldn't have looked much better.

Julia Stiles's Ombre SAGs Dress

It feels like a long time since Julia Stiles has been at such a big event but she pulled out a stunning look as she arrived at the 2011 Screen Actors Guild Awards on January 30.

Her beautiful ombre dress is from Monique Lhuillier's Pre-Fall 2011 collection and worn with sideswept curls and teamed with a glitzy Jimmy Choo clutch.

For a similar look, see edressme's JS Collection Ombre Evening Dress - it costs $360.00 - pricey but surely not as big a price-tag as a Lhuillier design.

January Jones's SAG Golden Lace Look

After her stunning Golden Globes look, January Jones decided to go a little more conservative for the SAG Awards on Sunday, January 30.

The Carolina Herrera dress still had an old-Hollywood feel though and it was teamed with Roger Vivier pumps and a '50s-style updo with a modern twist.

Overall Rating - 6/10 - Nice but nothing on her knock-out Globes look.

Mila Kunis's Stand-Out Red SAG Look

A wow! look from Mila Kunis as attended the SAG Awards on January 30.

We're so used to seeing Mila in black and dark colors that she really stood out in her trailing bold red design from Alexander McQueen.

Her Cartier jewels, although no where near Natalie Portmans $2 million-worth, were still worth around $300,000.
