Dads@Work – new service helping dads balance work and family

Increasingly men want to be active fathers but the demands of the workplace for executives are higher than ever. Parenthood is a time of great change and this can create stress that can affect business performance.

A recent study has identified that for fathers in dual career families with young children:

•65% would refuse a job or promotion if it had a negative impact on their family life.
•25% had actually made a decision on this basis.
The challenge for businesses and executives is to identify ways to support the both business needs and personal wellbeing.

Executive Dad is a coaching program aimed at Leaders who are balancing business and family responsibilities. The program identifies the areas of business and family life that require attention providing the space and time to create plans that will enhance personal and professional wellbeing and effectiveness.

Coupled with the Executive Dad program is a series of lunch and learn workshops on topics of interest to fathers in the workplace including the transition to fatherhood, work-life balance strategies and personality & parenting. Find out more.
