Single parents make up 1 in 4 families, yet they are often overlooked in workplace policies and support structures. Research shows that half of single-parent employees work below their skill level and over half have considered leaving their current role due to a lack of support. With many struggling to balance work and family life, burnout is a common challenge.
This event will explore the realities of single parenthood in the workplace, providing practical strategies for single parents to build fulfilling careers while managing work-life balance. It will also offer valuable insights for employers and colleagues on how to create a more inclusive and supportive work environment.
This event is ideal for single parents looking to find more balance, reduce stress and progress in their careers, as well as for managers, HR professionals and colleagues who want to better understand and support single-parent employees.
