SUMMARY:European Expert Meeting on Gender Equality\, Sustainability & Workplace Wellbeing co-hosted by Pro Parents Netherlands & COFACE Families Europe
DESCRIPTION:Good practices\, better workplaces\nFamily friendly workplaces as cornerstone for an economy which cares\nVideo summary of the expert meeting and objectives \nMeeting report with key findings \nA chance to build back better\nWorking families around the globe were dramatically impacted by the changes COVID-19 brought. Increasing anxieties around job security\, mounting home schooling demands\, and radical birth and postpartum plan shifts have taken the small safety net around families away. We are still in the phase of covid recovery\, gearing up for the next normal in work and life. There is an opportunity to build back better and coordinate a societal shift both at home and in the workplace. We need to redefine the future of work and how we envision care and work. How caretaking responsibilities are organized to ensure that people with care responsibilities (mostly women and or mothers\, but also family members who take care of elderly relatives or relatives with disabilities) are properly represented in the workplace. \nCreating the building blocks\nWith the Sustainable Development Goals 1 (no poverty)\, 3 (health and well-being)\, 5 (gender equality) and 8 (decent work and economic growth) in mind\, the objective of this European expert meeting was to create the building blocks for a caring economy by: \n\nconnecting families\, policy-makers and employers in order to collect best practices for family-friendly workplaces and create European guidelines to help employers create a culture shift;\nupscaling good practices from The Netherlands to other countries\, and encourage further cross-country exchanges;\npreparing the future of work to deal with labour market challenges due to gender inequality and the lack of appropriate work life balance measures\, such as female under-representation\, absenteeism\, loss of talent and talent shortages\, mental health issues and more;\nstudying solutions to improve gender equality in the labour market;\nboosting the implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights Action Plan\, namely principles 2 (gender equality)\, 3 (equal opportunities) and 9 (work-life balance).\n\nFull programme available here. \n\nAbout the co-hosts\nCOFACE Families Europe promotes the well-being\, health\, social inclusion and security of families and family members in our ever-changing society.
