Daddy, daddy!

Is this thing on?

Hey! You gotta pay attention!

Hey, I'm Frank. I'm working daily to bring everything I can to my job. And when I'm home, I'm doing the same for my kids. I know personally the passion that parents and caregivers bring to the workplace, and the challenges they face.

Emma, Levi, dinner.

(background voice) thanks daddy, be down.

But I'm getting ahead of myself, parents and caregivers. Who are we talking about? Well, certainly moms and dads. But we're also talking about non parent caregivers, any of the many, many adults who support ill or in need relatives, loved ones, and even neighbors. At the end of the day, we're talking about people who take care of other people, and all the many variations that can have, you know what, there's a good chance I'm talking about you. And I'm definitely talking about people you work with. parents and caregivers make up more than a third of the US workforce. That's more than 50 million people. If you look around your office, you'll find many, many people who fit these categories, people without whom your company couldn't operate. Despite this policies, systems and negative attitudes continue to hold parents and caregivers back in their careers. And that's a shame because businesses that make it a point to support parents and caregivers see huge reductions in cost and big benefits to operations. And if you don't trust me, trust them.

Across every industry leading companies are recognizing the value they get from caregivers of all kinds, your company can be one of them. In this module, we're going to share the personal experience of working parents and caregivers. We're going to address some negative mindsets common in the workplace, attitudes that can even be held by parents and caregivers themselves. And of course, we'll talk about how individuals and organizations can easily support caregivers. It might have bigger benefits than you think. Personally, I hope to show you how people like us bring some special assets to the table you wouldn't expect. For example.

Thanks, kids.
