We had a client among whose demographics was work situation, “at home with children” (as differentiated from “at home with partner and children” for instance.” “At home with children” was the lowest across the board in the normed data. Not surprising, have any other organizations chosen a similar demographic category, was this seen there as well? It seems unsurprising.

This demographic category was fairly unique to that organization, but highlights a very important topic and consideration for organizations. One of our next webinars will focus on work-life balance during the pandemic. I totally agree with you. As I mentioned in the webinar, a friend of mine, who is a lawyer, has realized that his whole day has to be built around the lesson plan for his 5 year-old. When that is set, he and his wife can plan the “rest” of their work for the day. How do you do this when you are alone? I agree that it is not surprising that single parents have the heaviest burden.
