Research: The Millennial Dad at Work
The poll of more than 2,000 working dads finds difficulties juggling work and home life has seen 60% of fathers admit they can’t find the right balance, while 60% of dads say they want more flexible working.
In addition to this, it finds half of dads want better paternity leave; while a third want better information from their employers about what paternity benefits are on offer to them.
It also finds:
- While 67% of younger (millennial) fathers believe the workplace recognises the greater contrition fathers play, only just over half feel they are treated the same as mothers
- Some 37% of dads report there is ‘work tension’ from other colleagues about their working hours, with leaving from work ‘on-time’ the biggest single tension
