"We live in a world where we assume that workers and parents are two different people, but they're not, they're the same - #WorkSchoolHours is a better way for ALL"
I’d love to talk about how applying #WorkSchoolHours principles can significantly benefit your organisation, in terms of staff attraction and retention, productivity, well-being, representation of women, and overall organisational performance. I deliver keynotes, run workshops and facilitate strategy sessions.
“For far too long, working parents have struggled with the incongruent, exhausting, and competing demands of career and family. Ellen’s brilliant book, #WorkSchoolHours, rethinks this outdated model by providing a path forward that creates a win-win at home and work. Bravo!”
Betsy Meyers
#WorkSchoolHours: A Revolution for Parents, Workplaces and the world.
Right now, we are expected to work as though we don’t have kids and parent as though we don’t have jobs. It is not sustainable. It’s causing people to leave the workforce, or to sacrifice valuable family time – and simultaneously hurting organisations as retention and productivity take a nosedive.
#WorkSchoolHours offers us all a better framework – one that takes us far beyond how we structure our work schedules to deliver better commercial outcomes for businesses, better careers for all working people, and better lives for everyone. Building on decades of research and lived experiences, #WorkSchoolHours gives us practical insights and immediately actionable solutions.
Available as paperback, audio book or e-book
“#WorkSchoolHours provides not just the manifesto for change but offers real and practical ways to tackle the opportunity. This is a must read for any leader building a modern workplace.”
