Building a workplace where both parents can thrive at work and at home.
In this short video, Elliot Rae, founder of Parenting Out Loud, shares practical steps organisations can take to support equal parenting and drive better outcomes for employees, families and businesses.
Elliot introduces Equal Parenting Week, a national campaign bringing employers, staff networks and inclusion leaders together to raise awareness of the barriers many working parents still face. From unequal parental leave to limited flexibility and a lack of visible support for fathers and carers, workplace culture plays a critical role in shaping how parents balance work and family life. Drawing on years of experience working with organisations, Elliot outlines three actions that can make a real difference.
