SINGLE PARENTS AT WORK: EASING THE MENTAL LOAD

SINGLE PARENTS AT WORK: EASING THE MENTAL LOAD

Join Jessica Heagren, Founder of Careers After Babies, and Orla Donoghue, Coach to Single Parents and recent author of new research into the mental load of solo working parents, for a vital LinkedIn Live.

Orla will be sharing insights from her recent study featured in HR Magazine, highlighting the unique challenges single parents face at work — and the simple, impactful ways employers can ease the load.

We’ll explore:

  • The invisible labour single parents carry into the workplace

  • Why inclusion efforts often overlook single parents

  • How leaders can embed flexibility, empathy and real support

  • What forward-thinking organisations are already doing well

  • The intersection of policy, culture and everyday line management

💡 Whether you're a manager, HR leader, or someone passionate about equity in the workplace — this conversation will offer practical ways to make work truly work for single parents.
