The legacy of COVID-19 on working parents with Fairygodboss’s Georgene Huang - Episode 15

Think about how much your workplace has changed since March 2020: from new words in our daily vocab – pandemic, furlough, Zoom, lockdown, WFH – to the global near-panic around mass resignations. Now imagine how hard it’d be to adjust if you’d been off work since early 2020. Or how difficult it’d be to if you were home-schooling children or caring for vulnerable relatives. For many of you, it’s probably not that hard to imagine. Because for working parents and carers, the impact of COVID-19 is a lasting one. Which is exactly what Lucinda Quigley, Head of Working Parents at Talking Talent, and Georgene Huang, co-founder and CEO of Fairygodboss, dig into in this week’s episode. Listen to this week's episode and learn: How HR can support working parents – from clarifying government allowances to providing financial support. Why companies need to become more than a paycheque for employees – to attract younger generations and retain experienced workers. What needs to be done to create a smoother maternity or paternity transition (and why this is different under COVID-19). Why role modelling is critical to creating a truly people-first workplace culture. #DEI #Diversity #Inclusion #Equity #TalkingTalent #WorkingParents #COVID19 #Fairygodboss #WorkingCarers #HybridWork #WorkplaceCulture
