Lynsey 📌

I’m doing an internal focus on family for our inclusion & wellbeing work. I have some ideas such as advice for parents, carers etc but is there anything I’m missing such as alternative families, other resources etc? I’m not a big family person 🙈 Any help gratefully received! 🙏

Important paper showing the gains to mothers and society from WFH. A 10% increase in WFH is shown to increase mothers employment by 1%. This is particularly true in professions which are more family unfriendly, like finance and marketing. Two implications: 1) WFH is driving faster economic growth by increasing the labor-supply of mothers. This is a huge benefit to society, and likely one reason for the post-pandemic surge in US economic growth. 2) WFH supports children's development by allowing parents to spend more time with them. This provides individual family benefits, and also wider social and economic benefits. So the big-name CEOs and Politicians claiming WFH is damaging growth have got it 100% wrong. WFH is likely powering the current economic boom by increasing labor supply and productivity, while also improving personal and family time. Paper: drive.google.com/file/d/1Z1J2GH…

Does anyone else think there are a disproportionately large amount of Taylor Swift fans on Twitter compared to how many you've met IRL? 👀

@lee_batchelor Same!

🥱 some days I do wish I was better at sleeping

I spend half my day taking ‘th’ off dates but this is really taking the biscuit. You lost your space! Did no one think to take it out? 🥴

@mrsjennifield I tend to wait until the train is between stops and just get a bit in quickly!

I’m always impressed by people who can do their make up on the train. Specifically eye liner. How are you not poking yourself in the eye?!

My Discover Weekly is HORRIBLE this week. Loads of weird jazzy stuff. Why?

So let's see... He doesn't care about their wellbeing (mass sackings and threats of meeting deadlines 'or else') No regard for how the world currently works (flexibly) And an unprofessional/ cavalier attitude to boot. Do you need an internal comms manager, @elonmusk?

Very glad not to work somewhere that you lose your job like this.
