April 12, 2017 - Arianna Huffington says companies don't always know what their female employees need—unless women tell them.
"Women should feel free to speak up about what is important to them," said the former editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post and current CEO of Thrive Global, during a panel discussion at the New York Times' Women in the World Summit on Thursday. Huffington added that many female employees at Thrive Global have expressed the desire to take their children to school early in the morning—at time that usually conflicts with work.
