Parent Coaching in macho City of London.

The Finance sector in London city does not have a reputation for being family friendly.
Think Gordon Gekko, “greed is good” in the film “Wall Street”

So very surprised to see companies like Morgan Stanley, HSBC and Barclays are now offering seminars on parenting skills on issues such as
“How to succeed as a working parent”.


These sessions are not just aimed at women but at men too. The thinking is that if parents are under less pressure at home, they’ll perform better at work. Great to see that workplaces are recognising that employees have lives outside of work. Also good to see that parenting is been recognised as requiring some skills as well.

I wonder will Irish employers start offering these services?
