Abstract

This final chapter explores the practical steps that organisations can take to minimise the ‘fatherhood forfeits’ as presented in this book, through identification of specific organisational actions, reference to exemplars in this area and wider academic research. This chapter would be incomplete without reference to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on family life during which time many parents found it necessary to undertake largely unaltered working schedules with minimal access to their usual support mechanisms, including schools, nurseries and more informal sources of support such as grandparents (ONS, Coronavirus and employment for parents in the UK, 2020; Sevilla & Smith, Baby steps: The gender division of childcare during the COVID19 pandemic. IZA DP IZA Institute of Labor Economics, 2020). The ‘Fatherhood Forfeit Study’ has many potential implications for how caregiving fathers are conceptualised and treated within the workplace. Raising awareness of these at both the macro and micro levels is critical if their experience is to be improved, discrimination minimised and ultimately working life improved for both mothers and fathers.
