Fatherhood and the Law—Being Present and Maintaining a Presence Podcast: Two-Part Series
A more inclusive workplace culture is evolving to support parents in creating fulfilling and sustainable careers while being present for their families. While fathers have historically been perceived as being more focused on advancing their careers and less interested in sharing daily parenting and caretaking responsibilities, employers acknowledge parents of all genders face challenges in simultaneously providing for their families and being actively involved in their children’s day-to-day lives.
In part one of this two-part episode of We Get Work, four fathers discuss why it's essential to create a safe space for parents to address these issues in the workplace while providing practical takeaways on what employers can do to help.
In part two of this two-part episode of We Get Work, our four dads discuss the push-pull between work and home life, how employers and parents can openly communicate their needs and what employers can do to boost employee morale.
