Forget flexibility. Working parents need predictability
Fast Company argues that workplace flexibility, long promoted as the key benefit for parents juggling jobs and childcare, misses the mark. What working parents actually need, the piece contends, is predictability: stable schedules and reliable hours they can plan family life around. The argument challenges employers and policymakers to rethink how they support parents at work.
Why now: Ongoing debates about remote work, childcare shortages and parental burnout keep the question of what working parents truly need in the spotlight.
