According to a FlexJobs survey, 53% of working mothers and 51% of working fathers say managing a career makes it hard to be a good parent. Achieving a healthy work-life balance, however, is often not only up to the individual, but the company or organization.  However, a healthy work-life balance is not only good for your employees, but also for business.  During this episode, Angela Nelson, Vice President and Executive Director of Clinical Services of RethinkCare, discusses how the post-pandemic world is changing how we think about work-life balance, and what challenges working moms and dads face as they try to balance their families and careers. Some of the topics covered include: What work-life balance is and where the concept originated from; Why work-life balance is critical for both individuals and organizations; How to progress towards a better work-life balance.
