Description

School holidays can inspire both joy and dread in the hearts of parents and carers. Joy thinking about relaxing and spending quality time with their children and stress with the worry of how to juggle work and family.

The dread of having to listen to “I’m bored” or “We never do anything fun” or “Please, please, please just let me have screentime” when trying to complete work commitments or taking time off to rest and rejuvenate. However, with a little planning, resources and practical strategies, working parents can better navigate work and family during the school holidays!

Resourcing employees reduces parental stress so they can succeed at home and be more focussed and productive at work. Workplace programs that support working parents and their families to thrive, nurture a family-friendly workplace culture.

Designed for working parents and carers raising children aged toddler to teenager.
