| Description | The presentation aims to identify elements of change and innovation in work-family arrangements at the employer level during the COVID-19 pandemic. We conduct a secondary analysis of qualitative data from the years 2020 to 2022. Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the conflicts between work and family, employers have been extensively hit by them. Work-family arrangements seem to be no longer "nice to have" but something "must have" from the employer's perspective. In this respect, the most significant innovative moments include: 1) the development of home-office regimes and tools for dealing with day-to-day practical problems, 2) the ability to match the individual needs of employees with the performance of their work ("tailored solutions"), and 3) ability to address emergency care needs when there are disruptions to usual care. |
