Company Kyte Baby is under fire for denying a new mother the ability to work remotely with her baby in NICU. This decision forced the mother to have to choose between caregiving and employment. Kyte Baby, after negative publicity, has issued two apologies and backtracked. The truth of the matter is that everyday, employers make arbitrary decisions based on our outdated cultural preferences for in-person and inflexible work schedules that force caregivers into impossible decisions: Financial ruin by being there for a loved one in medical distress… or financial security to keep a house and medical insurance, while leaving the loved one more on their own. In our day of advanced technology and proven remote capabilities, it should be a false choice. We need to make the workplace more inclusive for all caregivers - for this new mother and for all in our workplace who are seeking to succeed in their dual roles. #CaregiversInTheWorkplace #nicu #KyteBaby #dei #RemoteWork #FmlaIsntEnough #inclusivity #HughesBaby #IdealWorker

UMass Global BSW Student Sarah Hart advocates for public advocacy and collaboration: "To advance the credibility and visibility of social work it is important to actively work towards public advocacy, emphasizing social work's role in addressing and overcoming societal challenges. By establishing and promoting clear ethical standards, collaborating with other professions, and actively participating in media outreach, we can further the recognition and understanding of social workers in our community."

**Why "One Size Fits All" Workplace Policies Don’t Work for Everyone** In my personal experience, I've found that blanket workplace policies can fall short when it comes to addressing the unique needs of employees, especially caregivers. As someone who has juggled work responsibilities with caregiving duties, I know firsthand how rigid policies can create unnecessary stress and challenges. Whether it's a lack of flexible work hours or insufficient understanding from management, these "one size fits all" policies often fail to accommodate the diverse realities of today’s workforce. We need to push for more inclusive policies that recognize and support the varying needs of employees. This isn't just about fairness—it's about creating a more productive and engaged workforce where everyone can thrive. Sharing our stories on social media is powerful because it amplifies our voices, reaches those who may be experiencing similar challenges, and draws attention to important issues. It's a way to create awareness, build solidarity, and inspire action. That’s why I’m also sharing my support for petitions on platforms like Change.org and Care2.com, calling for better protections and accommodations for caregivers. Your voice matters—let’s use it to drive meaningful change. #caregivers #support #worklifebalance Julia Marvin Yadira C.
