Workplace Roadmap: Helping Parents Balance Life
This event has already ended
Description
Dr. Dana Suskind will draw from her new book, "Parent Nation: Unlocking Every Child's Potential, Fulfilling Society's Promise" to make the case that America has abdicated its responsibility to families, adopting policies and norms that directly conflict with the science of early childhood development and make it incredibly challenging for parents to balance their career aspirations with their roles as guardians of our nation's future. Dr. Suskind offers a roadmap for workplaces, in particular, to honor and support parents in the important work of raising children, arguing that until we make it easier for all mothers and fathers to excel at work and at parenting, our society will fail to reach its full potential.
