Caring for the kids, doing chores around the home, and working hard to provide financially for the family – today’s fathers must do it all.
City Dads Group and A Better Balance, a work and family advocacy center, offer help doing so in the latest Modern Dads Podcast – “The Modern Dads’ Juggle.”
This podcast, the audio of our recent webinar of the same name, has a panel of pros dispensing advice on:
- using employer policies and the law to support men considering starting a family
- paternity leave
- flexible work schedules
- caring for sick kids while holding a job.
The Working Dad’s Survival Guide author Scott Behson is among the speakers offers tips and resources to help dads be their our own best advocates in the workplace. He is a professor of management at Fairleigh Dickinson University, national expert in work and family issues, and was a featured speaker at the White House Summit on Working Families and at the United Nations International Day of the Family. He founded and runs the popular blog, Fathers, Work, and Family, dedicated to helping working fathers and encouraging more supportive workplaces. He writes regularly for the Harvard Business Review, Huffington Post and Good Men Project, and has also been published in TIME, Success, Fast Company and The Wall Street Journal.
A Better Balance leverages the power of the law to ensure that no worker has to make the impossible choice between their job and their family. We lead the charge for policies that help families, including paid sick leave and family leave, flexible work, pay equity, and policies that combat discrimination based on pregnancy and family status. Our efforts help people who work outside and inside the home achieve a better balance between providing for their families and caring for them. We believe that when all working parents and caregivers have a fair shot in the workplace, our families, our communities, and our nation are healthier and stronger.
