Hello and welcome to tHRive at work! Today we are discussing the topic of "How employers can support men to be great fathers without sacrificing a great career." with Ian Dinwiddy. We wanted to delve into this subject as we find a lot of the time initiatives around gender equality in the workplace are more so aimed at women, with Ian's focus being on men, we wanted to have a look at what can be done to support men and dad's within a workplace.
