Working from home brings unique distractions, however, there is one distraction which if not managed well may trump all others – working from home with your children.
During this panel discussion, we will chew over how to juggle working from home while parenting. Our panel will give their ideas on supporting your children with schoolwork, how to manage your time effectively, how to support yours and your children’s wellbeing, and how HR teams can support employees who are working at home with children.
