HR Grapevine Virtual: Employee Reward, Benefits & Wellbeing 2024

Recent research has suggested backward moves for gender equity in the workplace. The Modern Families Index 2024 revealed women now feel less confident than men about discussing family at work and less able to progress their careers while working flexibly. However, men are almost as likely as women to say they will consider childcare before accepting a new job or promotion and equally as likely to say they will consider their eldercare needs.

Bright Horizons’ research among leading employers committed to family-inclusive cultures shows that women and men can feel equally engaged and empowered, given the right supports.

So how does it feel to be a successful working father or working male carer in 2024, balancing the demands of a senior role and family life? What keeps young fathers and male carers engaged and loyal? And among those employers getting it right, what are the most valued enablers? Among our guests, we talk to two fathers from large, high performing organisations in demanding sectors to find out.

During this workshop, you will:

• Hear research-based insights and lived experience on the expectations of employees, across genders, on work-life balance and family life
• Gain real-world, practical tips to help fathers and parents of all genders achieve a successful work-family balance
• Take away action and advice you can apply for your own workforce
