Becoming a parent upsets the work/life balance. However, parenting remains a blind spot in HR policies.
Find out how you can better support parent employees with Teale.
Arrival of a child, increased mental load, lack of flexibility, feeling of isolation: parent employees encounter very specific difficulties. These have a direct impact on their mental health, their commitment and their professional career.
With Teale, you can concretely support employees in their daily lives as parents and improve their work experience, without denying the constraints they encounter.
Supporting parents at work
Adapting the work environment to the realities of parents allows them to remain committed and effective without putting aside their family life.
Valuing all life paths
Creating an inclusive corporate culture, which recognizes the challenges of parenting, contributes to the retention of talent and better team cohesion.
Improving life balance
Being a parent does not mean being less invested: it is by taking this reality into account that a company can create the conditions for a sustained commitment.
