How Parents & Employers Can Navigate the Post-Pandemic Workplace
Returning to the workplace after more than a year of working from home poses challenges—and opportunities—for parents and their employers. It’s a bit of an understatement to say the pandemic blurred the lines between work and caregiving responsibilities. How can parents redraw these lines now that employers are inviting and, in some cases, requiring them to return to the workplace?
Dr. Malissa Clark, Associate Professor of Industrial-Organizational Psychology at the University of Georgia, and Christine Robinson, Resource Management Leader for Baker Tilly, join us to discuss how parents can advocate for the work flexibility they need and how employers can proactively support working parents.
Included in this episode about returning to the workplace:
- How to navigate changes in family routine as you and/or your partner return to the workplace
- How to advocate for yourself as you return to work
- How do we get back to any sense of work/life balance? How do we manage our workaholism or over-productivity we might have slid into while working from home?
- Going forward, how can remote employees continue to differentiate themselves when other colleagues are physically in the office?
- How can employers support their employees who are working parents?
