At Tala, our remote-first culture is more than just a work setup—it’s a lifeline for many of our team members, especially mothers. For them, flexibility isn’t a nice-to-have—it’s a necessity. And in a world where caregiving and career-building often compete for time and energy, remote work creates space for both.
Remote Work, Real Life
The reality of remote work for moms isn’t always picture-perfect. Yes, it’s a relief to skip the commute, to attend meetings from the dining table, and to work with a baby monitor close by. But it also means multitasking in ways most office-based roles don’t account for—navigating school pickups between team syncs, managing household responsibilities while chasing deadlines, and sometimes showing up to a virtual call with a toddler sneaking a peek in the background.
“Being a working mom at Tala means living in the middle of beautiful chaos most days. There are mornings when I’m hopping on a Google Meet with one hand while gently negotiating with my son to keep quiet in the background as he plays. Some afternoons, I reply to Slack messages while helping him with his homework. It’s a daily juggle, and I’ve learned to give myself grace along the way.
What keeps me grounded is knowing I’m setting an example for my child: that it’s possible to pursue your goals, work hard, and still be present at home with love to give. I’m incredibly grateful to be part of Tala, where empathy, flexibility, and trust are part of the culture. Tala doesn’t just support working moms—it empowers us to thrive, both at work and at home.”— Yanie, Tala Mom
By the Numbers: The Moms of Tala
Moms make up a meaningful portion of our team.
As of May 2025, over 24% of Tala’s team members identify as working mothers.
They span roles across Marketing, Finance, Customer Experience, Collections, Shared Services, Legal and Compliance, and Business Strategy—proving every day that impact and empathy go hand in hand.
Beyond Balance: Building a Culture of Understanding
At Tala, we recognize that the traditional idea of work-life balance often misses the mark—especially for mothers. That’s why our support goes deeper:
- Flexible hours and remote-first hybrid setup to accommodate caregiving routines
- Results-driven work that values output over facetime
- Well-being resources including mental health support and healthcare for dependents
- Inclusive leadership that listens, adapts, and leads with empathy
This isn’t just policy—it’s culture. It’s knowing that you’re not just allowed to be a parent while working—you’re encouraged to bring your whole self to work.
Empowered Moms, Empowering Communities
When moms thrive, families thrive—and so do communities. We see it every day at Tala: women leading teams, solving problems, mentoring others, and caring deeply—for both their work and their people.
Our commitment to a remote-first culture isn’t just a tech decision. It’s a people decision. And for the moms of Tala, it’s a reminder that their roles—at home and at work—are equally valued.
