Getting Help For Working Moms
The pandemic has affected all sectors of the population, but one particularly hard-hit group is the working moms, who are now facing difficult choices about how best to care for their kids while still bringing in enough money to support their family. This question of finding a decent quality of work-life balance is not going to have an easy solution, and it will be different for everyone. In this video, I ask a simple question: How are mothers handling this crisis?
In a recent study of 550 private and nonprofit organizations, the company Willis Towers Watson found that amongst employers with over 100 employees, less than one third have a plan in place to help women figure out childcare, 50% don’t offer any kind of resources for women, and 66% say that that doesn’t mean they have to adjust their performance expectations for women. With so little regard for working moms, how are they to maintain a healthy quality of work-life balance? There seems to be an expectation that women will be able to handle anything that gets thrown their way. But with employers offering limited or no assistance, and schools reopening in the fall, working mothers are going to have before them a herculean task: figuring out how to do remote working while still being present enough to provide adequate care for their children.
So, with the lack of resources and assistance for working moms, what do you need in order to feel supported? What kind of help would be necessary for you to be able to achieve a healthy quality of work-life balance? Let’s start a discussion. I look forward to hearing from you!
