with Amelia Pleasant Kennedy
According to a 2022 report published by McKinsey, 81% of women and 63% of men are in dual-career couples. Within opposite-gender dual-career couples, women are four times more likely than men to take on tasks at home, regardless of who earns more. This imbalance is called the "chore gap," and it's affecting the quality of life within our clients' homes, their physical and emotional health and their mental capacity at work. This `invisible load` is making its way into conversations in the media, in board rooms, and into homes.
The Fair Play Method, developed by Eve Rodsky, is a time and anxiety-saving solution aiming to bring equity and humanity to our care tasks and responsibilities. Pleasant Kennedy will explore the difference between the delegation approach and the transfer of full ownership, and how your clients can benefit from making their daily invisible work more visible and, in turn, shared and valued.
OBJECTIVES:
