Skilled Moms ’s Post

Being a parent in the workplace comes in many shapes and sizes, lots of which aren't talked about or understood. In this conversation, I'm chatting with Tracey Liot (Workplace Trainer / Consultant ) who is a parent and also a carer to her 10 year old son. As you can see from the screenshot, there were some intense eye moments - especially where stereotypes are concerned! Tracey is on a mission to change the narrative for parents who happen to be carers, and want to craft a career in a workplace. There are so many practical things we can do to establish cultures where people can thrive and blend family life with work, but it has to start with understanding people's lived realties (whilst honouring boundaries!!). Nobody owes us their story, but when someone does want to share we need to listen, be curious and let that person talk about their experiences. It isn't a one size fits all, and Tracey doesn't speak for a whole community of parents who are carers - but hopefully what this gives you is an idea on how to approach a conversation and some of the suggestions for offering support (and a few myths busted along the way!).

Unpopular opinion: combining Emancipendence is a good idea! I've been seeing a lot of discussion around this topic and I'm coming at it as an employer and an employee... Having two random days off in the middle of a work week throws off a lot of people. I definitely prefer the idea of a long 4 day weekend, but what do you think? Let me know in the comments! #business #productivity

Working parents, you have spoken the results are inspiring! 🎉 I recently ran a poll to find out if working parents feel supported by their employers in balancing their career ambitions and family responsibilities. The results are in, and I am thrilled to see that most of you felt extremely supported/somewhat supported! 🙌 It’s really heartening to hear that so many workplaces are stepping up and providing the resources and understanding needed to help parents thrive both professionally and personally. This shows that with the right culture, policies, and support systems, it's absolutely possible to have a fulfilling career while also being present for your family. But let’s not stop here. There’s always room for improvement and for more companies to adopt these best practices as some of the other votes are showing. My goal is to continue supporting businesses in creating even more inclusive environments. So, let’s connect if you’re either: 💙 An employer looking to enhance your support for working parents 💙 A parent seeking guidance on how to navigate these challenges Together, we can make a difference! www.futureful.co.uk / sharn@futureful.co.uk #WorkingParents #CareerAndFamily #InclusiveWorkplace #SupportiveEmployers #CoachingForChange

It's time for companies to encourage men to take time off work when they have a child. Often times, men refrain from taking this important time off due to stigmatization and the possibility of it hurting their career. Men who sought flexible times to advance their career got their request while those who sought flexible times for child-caring duties didn't. The importance of having both parents around in the first few months of a new-born is vital for them but also for both parents to bond and support each other. Companies need to be more open to allowing time for both parents to spend precious time with their child. Dive into our article where we give three ways companies can promote family-friendly policies and lets change the workplace to be more mindful when it comes to starting a family. #GenderEquality #EqualRights #InformativeArticles #BarcelonaArticles #WorkplaceEquality #PaidLeave #ParentalLeave Victor Horcasitas Claire Honders
