Managing Working Parents During the Pandemic

Ellen Ernst Kossek, management professor at Purdue University, is
researching how the pandemic is putting an enormous strain on
working parents and the new challenge that poses for their
managers. She shares how supervisors can offer much-needed
consistency and predictability for working parents on their teams.
She also outlines specific ways to give working parents more
flexibility while still holding them accountable. Kossek is the
coauthor, with Kelly Schwind Wilson and Lindsay Mechem Rosokha, of
the HBR article "What Working Parents Need from Their Managers."
