23.01.2022 Earlier this year Australia’s leading agencies dedicated to supporting families joined forces to highlight the important need for the business community to understand and respond to the real challenges facing working families through the COVID 19 crisis and beyond to help them ‘bounce back’ to build a stronger, more sustainable way of working and caring for family in 2021.

23.01.2022 With today being International Men's Day we'd like to take the time to celebrate all the beautiful men in our lives husbands, fathers, sons, brothers, uncles, colleagues and friends. We work hard in our company to ensure men are included in the conversation around parental leave, flexible work and sharing the care. We do this because we value equally what men bring to our families and social communities as well as working life. We know there is still much work to be done b...efore there is equality for men in these areas, however we also acknowledge the great steps that have been taken so far. Happy International Men's Day from all of us. #InternationalMensDay #ParentsAtWork

23.01.2022 "It is important to acknowledge that family is relevant to all employees; we are all part of a family; someone’s child, and in various ways, we are all involved in the care of significant people. No longer is family viewed in the nuclear, gender-normed sense. Men, women and non-binary people, should have the right and ability to take care of the people in their lives." ~ Emma Walsh, CEO, Parents At Work. In honour of UN Global Day of Parents today (1st June), our CEO Emma Wal...sh spoke with the @Diversity Council Australia Ltd about what it means for an organisation to be truly family friendly.

21.01.2022 As you may already be aware, there are distressing reports of a live suicide circulating on social media. This video is being seen by many unsuspecting youth through the Facebook and TikTok social media platforms. If you are concerned about your child you can visit the esafety.gov.au website where you will find guidance on how to report the video to the Office of the eSafety Commissioner. The Executive Director of ySafe Social Media & Cyber Safety Experts, Yas London, also a...dvises you report this video directly to the platform if you see it. We have added here a link to a podcast interview with Ms London recorded recently on the subject of Cyber Safety for our youth.

20.01.2022 Research tells us that when there is a social movement happening, a crisis often accelerates the movement. For example, before the second world war women were gradually moving into the workplace and the war pushed that on and I think we are witnessing a similar thinking in men’s involvement in childcare, ~ Adrienne Burgess, joint chief executive of the Fatherhood Institute. This article from The Guardian highlights the Covid-shift we are now experiencing with many fathers... working from home and spending more time with their children. Could this be the new norm for working families? #FlexibleWork #GenderEquity #ParentalEquality

18.01.2022 "Business, leaders and policymakers need to consider carefully how best to energise people behind the recovery. This starts with fully understanding the motivations at play in the workforce, and then mounting a compelling case for how the business and its people can lay a platform for shared success." Published this morning by the The Sydney Morning Herald, this must read article highlights some of the concerns businesses are facing in a post Covid world.

15.01.2022 Why is ‘Family Friendly’ so important when it comes to the future of work? Results from our recent Pulse Survey have revealed 81% of participants say ‘balancing work and family’ is the number one challenge as a working parent. Second to this was ‘my own mental health and wellbeing.’ Being mostly a team of working parents ourselves and on the ground in the industry every day, these results were not to us at all surprising. ... There is only one direction for workplaces to move and that is towards creating family friendly policies and practices including gender equal parental leave and flexible work options.

14.01.2022 "Australia urgently needs to review the way we support families to raise children and to work - Covid has made visible the struggle many parents endure to bridge the work and home divide. With uncertainty around ongoing access to affordable child care for the foreseeable future, a highly gendered PPL scheme that doesn't encourage shared care, and a tax disincentive to work more hours...it's little wonder parents and parents-to-be think it's all too hard." ~ Emma Walsh, CEO Parents At Work, in response to the latest considerations by the Federal government. #Childcare #ParentalLeave #ParentsAtWork

12.01.2022 Affordability of child care looms as one of the key issues facing working parents as we look to rebuild the Australian economy through COVID, Alison Kitchen, KPMG Australia Chair says. Too often, those who want to contribute more to household income find themselves looking at an insufficient financial reward from taking on extra work, once out of pocket child care costs are deducted. This occurs across all family income levels, as our modelling shows." A further confirmati...on that our current childcare system has a way to go when it comes to supporting Australian working families. #ChildCareAustralia #ParentsAtWork

10.01.2022 Australia doesn’t have a work and family policy framework. It’s dispersed across government department, with different employers doing different; nothing is being done in a coordinated way and that needs to change. We have a unique opportunity to capitalise (on the strength of feeling arising from the pandemic). We have to galvanize that. Emma Walsh speaks plainly to Women's Agenda in an article that highlights the urgent need for family friendly policies and practice wit...hin Australia's public and private sectors. #FamilyFriendlyWorkplaces #GovernmentPolicy #RaisingTheStandards

09.01.2022 Over the past 5 years Parents At Work have had to pleasure of working closely with Scentre Group in developing the companies family friendly and flexible work policies and practice. This has included one on one coaching for their parental leavers, implementing a best practice parental leave process as well as helping to establish their internal network group for parents known as Parents Connect. We are now thrilled to share that we have recently been working with their team i...n taking Parents Connect to the next level which has seen the introduction of their new Families Connect service. Families Connect includes access to a custom built Work + Family Hub for Scentre Groups working parents and carers along with parenting forums that will be run by executive coaches throughout the year.

07.01.2022 Appreciating all the mums, dads, midwives, doctors, families during a radically unsettling year. #weareinthistogether #PANDAWeek2020

06.01.2022 On the one year anniversary since ING Australia became the first bank in Australia to significantly shake up its paid parental leave policy, the company has announced a fourfold increase in ING dads taking more than two weeks’ leave since August 2019. This equates to 40 dads taking the time off to be with a new child in comparison to 10 in 2019. The company have also released new research surveying 400 parents who have been on parental leave during the pandemic, with three q...uarters of them women. They found that one third (33 per cent) of partners of primary caregivers said their leave wasn’t enough to support their partner after their baby was born. Forty per cent said they felt torn between work and family commitments during COVID-19. Amazing work ING, leading the way with #parentalleaveequality in Australia. #WorkingDads #ShareTheCare #ParentsAtWork

05.01.2022 "Employees value flexible work arrangements, and companies need to get serious about offering them... there are great benefits: schedule flexibility, improved work-life balance, increased productivity, and talent retention." ~ Deborah Schroeder-Saulnier, D.Mgt. for the Harvard Business Review. This year's Flexible Working Day theme is "Reframing Flexibility for the Future". Parents At Work would like to acknowledge Flexible Working Day and the importance of #FlexibleWork in supporting not just women to thrive in the workforce, but families in general. #FWDay2021 #FlexWorkFullLife #FlexibilityIsTheFuture

05.01.2022 "Change starts with the individual, but when we have laws that reflect true equality (both parents, without bias, playing an equally active and important role as both carer and worker), we start to inspire and encourage every parent, working or not, to play a role in raising the next generation equally." ~ Emma Walsh, CEO, Parents At Work. #GenderEquality #ParentsAtWork

01.01.2022 Earlier this week our CEO Emma Walsh was interview by ABC Radio National on the subject of equal care in raising children. "The way that we think about family traditionally has been a mum and a dad and very much around one taking on the lions share of child rearing and the other one doing a lot of the earning, and I just don't think that that's the society we live in anymore." In this interview you will hear from a married couple who talk about the fact that they are giving ...equal care a shot, but it's not without its challenges. #AustraliaTalks #RadioNational #ParentsAtWork
