Working Parent Wellbeing

Synopsis

This training delves into the complex and competing demands that working parents and carers face in the workplace. We will examine a range of issues that impact work-life balance, including setting boundaries at work and at home, task prioritisation, and effective communication.

One critical aspect we will focus on is the importance of boundary-setting, both in terms of creating clear distinctions between work and home life, and establishing boundaries within the workplace. We will also explore strategies for prioritising tasks effectively and communicating these priorities to colleagues and managers.

In addition, we will examine the broader organisational factors that can impact the experience of working parents and carers. This includes the clarity of job roles, availability of support networks, and company policies around flexible working arrangements.

Overall, this training provides a comprehensive framework for understanding and addressing the challenges faced by working parents and carers. Participants will leave with practical tools and insights to help navigate these complex demands and maintain a healthy work-life balance.
