Caregiving at Work: Who Gets Flexibility — and Who Doesn’t?
Description
Caregiving takes many forms — childcare, eldercare, spousal support — but not all are equally acknowledged in the workplace.
On this episode of Tomorrowist, host Jerry Won sits down with Tamla Oates-Forney, CEO of SHRM Linkage, to examine the disproportionate burden of caregiving and its impact on careers, especially for women. Drawing from her own experiences as both a CEO and caregiver, Oates-Forney discusses actionable strategies for leaders to foster a culture of accountability, flexibility, and support that empowers all types of caregivers in the workforce.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why caregiving bias persists in workplace policies and culture
- How different types of care are treated unequally — and why it matters
- The one thing leaders can do tomorrow to create more supportive, flexible work environments
