Cycle of Webinars on Parenting: Part 3

USB - Commission

Have you ever thought about the real impact of parenthood on the workplace — not just individual employees, but the entire organisation? In one of our AGORA editions, one of our team members shared how challenging it was to juggle the demands of their role with the pressures of parenthood. It was a wake-up call for us. We realized that while we were offering flexibility and some support, we could do so much more to help working parents thrive — for their benefit and the company’s.

This experience sparked a deeper conversation within our trade union about the importance of integrating parenthood into the workplace. And today, we’re excited to invite you to watch our recorded conference on this very topic: Integrating Parenthood into the Workplace.

Supporting parent employees isn’t just about offering time off or flexible hours; it’s about creating a workplace culture that truly understands and values the role of parents. Our conference explores the many ways organisations can build this support system, from reducing absenteeism and turnover to increasing engagement and productivity.

You’ll discover how simple yet impactful actions can make institutions more “parent-friendly,” creating a stronger bond between employees and the organisation/institutions.

The session also highlights real-life examples and research that show how companies who actively support parents experience measurable benefits. The strategies we share are proven to foster a more inclusive, balanced environment where employees feel valued and motivated to give their best.

It’s not just about balancing work and family life; it’s about recognising the tremendous value that working parents bring to the table, and ensuring they have the support they need to do their best work.

We invite you to watch the full session and start implementing these strategies in your organisation/institution.

We hope you find the session insightful and inspiring. Let’s create a more inclusive, supportive, and productive work environment — one where parenthood is not a challenge, but a strength.
