WHY FOCUS ON FATHERS?
Your business’s commitment to encouraging engaged fatherhood translates to a significant economic im
Happy dads are happy employees. According to a 2015 study that surveyed nearly 1,000 fathers working an average of 46 hours/week published in the Academy of Management Perspectives, men who spend more time with their kids on a typical day are more satisfied with their jobs and are less likely to look for another job. Moreover, they experience less work-family conflict and greater enrichment in their jobs and at home.
Engaged fathers are better for companies and their bottom lines. Good fathers are less distracted by family problems when they're at work. Another study found that nearly $6 billion yearly is lost in decreased productivity from marriage and relationships. Among those relational difficulties are children impacted by less contact with their fathers.
What you get from us
Your commitment to fostering a workplace culture that expects ALL fathers to be positively involved in their children's lives starts with Fundamentals of Fatherhood, the essential playbook.
We are all about community building, and we envision your workplace as the perfect place for creating a peer-supported group of fathers and soon-to-be fathers. To achieve this vision, you may send members of your own team to a training event hosted by us so they can choose to have skilled facilitators come to your offices to prepare fathers in your workplace.
We recommend courses take place over a long lunch break once a week or every other week.
