Initially, remote work was a temporary solution for office workers at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Three years later, many working caregivers have found that work-life balance is possible — if they are not forced into the office every day.
Mother Honestly, a caregiving benefits provider for employers, and Care.com, an online marketplace for child care and senior care professionals, teamed up and surveyed over 1,000 caregivers and 500 C-suite executives, HR leaders and senior-level managers about what remote work has meant for families. Notably, 73% of respondents use the time they save working from home to care for their kids, and 70% use it to spend more time with their partner or spouse.
