New information from the Pew Research Center has proven what we have already been seeing as a major shift in the workplace. Working mothers have become the breadwinning -- or sole -- sources of income in 40 percent of households with children.

I would say that 99 percent of the companies out there would benefit on both productivity and collaboration by offering some forms of work flexibility to their team -- whether it's as minimal as having a flexible schedule once a week or telecommuting a half-day a month, to more comprehensive flexibility options.

We've all seen the photos. There's a person (usually a mom) working at home, bouncing a beautiful baby on one knee and cranking out reports on her laptop with her free hand. Those images make me crazy.
