Just as working mothers increasingly feel pressure from all sides to achieve and be the best family members possible, expectations for fathers have shifted in recent years. But professor Brad Harrington and former TV anchor Liam Martin argue that the ecosystem of support for working fathers hasn't been formed in the same it has for women. Brad's research shows that working fathers increasingly feel conflicted about where they should spend their time, and how to manage the expectations society puts on them while balancing their own mental health. Liam shares his own personal story of recently leaving his job to protect his mental health and family's quality of life. Like many of us, Liam hid his struggles and avoided asking for help. Many people manage "role conflict" - the struggle between being present for family and the need to be successful professionally, which can impact mental health.

Interview with Brad Harrington / Boston College Center for Work and Family HOSTED BY PAUL SULLIVANMany companies still focus on working moms with their outreach and employee resource groups for parents. But research from Boston College's Center for Work and Family shows that doing only that is missing the mark. Not only are fathers taking paternity leave that companies have offered them, both they and working moms are using those benefits as proxies to assess whether they'd even want to work for that company. So why are some companies still acting like it's 1983?

Who is “The New Dad?” Is he any different from the “old” one? Brad Harrington has been researching this question for over a decade. He’s the Executive Director of the Boston College Center for Work & Family – which partners with nation’s most progressive employers to improve employees’ lives – and an award-winning professor at the Boston College Carroll School of Management. During our conversation, Harrington breaks down modern working dads, explaining the conflicts and complexities so many of them grapple with (no matter their generation) when it comes to caring for their families while advancing their careers. He also reveals intriguing findings from a new landmark study: https://www.bc.edu/content/dam/files/centers/cwf/research/publications/researchreports/Expanded%20Paid%20Parental%20Leave-%20Study%20Findings%20FINAL%2010-31-19.pdf measuring the impact of expanding corporate paid leave benefits for new working parents. Listen to this episode to learn: -Reasons why working dads struggle just as much as (and perhaps more than) working moms to balance the demands of work and family -The employer’s role in supporting and celebrating the role men play as caregivers (and how this supports gender equality) -Are Millennial dads really the most “egalitarian” fathers? -Why senior executives need to lead by example and encourage more men to take the full amount of paternity leave offered to them -The progress society has made in getting more men to take paternity leave -Ideas for re-entry to the workplace after leave, including “phased returns” and flexible work schedules -The similarities between women and men who take parental leave when it comes to company loyalty and concerns about career advancement and company For more information, visit: https://www.bc.edu/content/bc-web/schools/carroll-school/sites/center-for-work-family.html

Josh Levs and Brad Harrington talk with Jessica Degroot about paid parental leave and how it benefits all...dads, moms, families and yes even organizations! We need good public policy to make the road to integration available to all.

Conversations about juggling work and family often revolve around challenges faced by moms who are employed outside the home. But a study at Boston College’s Center for Work and Family is changing the conversation, with findings that highlight how some fathers are facing similar struggles as they take on increasing responsibility at home and still strive to succeed in their careers.   Dr. Brad Harrington, Executive Director of the BC Center and lead investigator on the study, joins Marti & Erin for this provocative discussion of what is happening in the lives of many American fathers today.   In your own family, how is childrearing divided between mom and dad? What about other aspects of household work? How is juggling work and family shaped by the amount and type of out-of-home employment for each parent? What would you change and what would you keep the same about the way childrearing and household tasks are distributed in your family?   To read the results of Boston College Center for Work & Family’s study of The New Dad, click here.
