GovExec Daily: How to Manage Working Parents During the Pandemic
Dr. Ellen Ernst Kossek joins the podcast to discuss how managers can help their employees' work-life balance.
The pandemic has been a strain on workers for nearly two years, but working parents have especially felt the strain of the COVID-19 crisis. Managers and organizations, even during the pandemic, need to lead their teams and drive performance while also supporting the work-life needs of all of their employees.
Dr. Ellen Ernst Kossek is the Basil S. Turner Professor at Purdue University's Krannert School of Management and the first elected President of the Work-Family Researchers Network. She joined the show to discuss how the pandemic is affecting the relationship between working parents and their employers and vice versa.
