Navigating Career and Motherhood at Zscaler

Tiffany Shyuan, Revenue Manager in Finance, joined Zscaler five years ago eager to grow professionally and make an impact. From her first day, Tiffany experienced Zscaler’s strong commitment to the wellbeing of its employees. In 2024, she transitioned into her most fulfilling role yet–new mother to baby Benson. After returning from maternity leave, Tiffany found herself balancing the challenges of being a new parent. For Tiffany, one particular initiative stood out: the “U.S. Ramp Back Benefit” for new moms which allowed her to thrive both as a mother and career professional.

Ramp Back Benefit Allows Flexibility

After welcoming Benson into the world, Tiffany returned to work, feeling supported every step of the way. Zscaler’s “Ramp Back Benefit” allowed her to work a part-time schedule for full pay during her first month back. This thoughtful program helped Tiffany ease back into a fulltime workweek while juggling the responsibilities of her new “mom” title. She explains, “This benefit empowered me to get reaccustomed to my role as a working mom. It’s a level of care that truly makes you grateful to be here.”

Flexibility is also part of our culture. Zscaler’s hybrid work environment also proved invaluable as she continued to navigate her dual responsibilities. With open communication and support from her team,  the transition back into the workplace was more manageable. “Zscaler’s flexibility gives people confidence to handle both jobs with grace,” Tiffany shares. “What’s most important is accountability for your work.”

Support for Working Parents

As Tiffany reflects on her journey, she emphasizes how Zscaler’s adaptability and open communication foster success for working parents. She encourages others entering new roles while managing family responsibilities to never shy away from expressing their needs: “Communication is key. If you don’t speak up, no one will know. Flexibility is possible and at Zscaler, good talent is always valued.”

Tiffany’s story is more than one of career success—it’s a testament to Zscaler’s commitment to supporting its employees at every stage of their personal and professional journeys. For Tiffany, Zscaler is a place where teamwork, innovation, and personal fulfillment harmoniously intersect and dovetail seamlessly. Thank you for sharing your journey, Tiffany!
