    • Management

Teresa Tanner wakes up on a mission every day as the CEO and Founder of Reserve Squad. Seeking to disrupt traditional company models, Reserve Squad helps companies retain employees who pause their careers to take care of family or other obligations.

“We've lost about two and a half million women from the workforce,” she says of the COVID-19 pandemic. “We are at the lowest workforce participation rate that we've been in 33 years, so basically, my entire career has been wiped out for this pandemic.”

Throughout her time in the corporate world, including experiences at McDonald’s and Fifth Third Bank, Teresa knew that she had to position herself differently and overcome barriers many of her male co-workers did not face.

On this episode of Human Resolve, Teresa explains the value of leading with empathy and taking a human-first approach to management.
