As a leader, it can be easy to get so involved in the advancement of your organization that you overlook the individual needs of your employees, especially working parents and caregivers. These are people that support someone who depends on them outside of work, like their children or other relatives. In this program, we'll talk about what life looks like for these people outside of the office, where their time, energy, and focus is often going, and the strain they may feel getting tugged between work and home. We'll also go over what companies and managers can do to better support parents and caregivers.
