Gone are the days when fathers were expected to put work first and family last. Today, men worldwide are redefining fatherhood and finding greater fulfillment both at work and at home. But old ways die hard. Many managers prefer the status quo, and fathers aren’t finding the support and flexibility they need from their employers. Dads still feel pressure to downplay or hide their involvement in their children’s lives. And even as more men step up as parents, across every level of society the burdens of parenting and running a household still fall unfairly on women.
Fatherhood is one of the toughest jobs and the biggest responsibility you’ll ever take on. Advice for Working Dads will teach you how to balance and integrate work and parenthood, how to navigate the common pitfalls at work, and how to find success when you’re taking on twice as much-for the good of your family.
This volume will help you: navigate workplaces and bosses that want you to forget you’re a parent; spend your time at work and at home more purposefully; make time for yourself, your friends, and your hobbies; set reasonable expectations and limits in the always-on work culture; communicate better with your spouse or partner about careers, parenting, and housework; get the paternal leave you and your family need; set your family up for success; and more.

Your kid gets sick, so you leave work early-again. You’re an expert at driving the carpool line and setting up for the morning meeting. You missed out on another stretch assignment because you don’t have time. It’s assumed you’ll bake the treats for the fundraiser-and man the table.
As a working mother you often draw the short straw. You carry most of the burden of caregiving and household chores-and your career suffers because of it. Bosses and coworkers assume that since you’re focused on your family, you don’t prioritize work, and they give crucial opportunities to those around you.
Advice for Working Moms can help you alleviate this stress. Drawing on the wisdom of experts and parents alike, it will help you strike the right balance between family and work, all while navigating the long-standing bias against mothers and, more broadly, women in the workforce. You’ll learn to: establish the boundaries you need at home and at work; negotiate flextime, time off, and maternity leave; facilitate your return to work after taking time off for caregiving; combat the “motherhood penalty”; negotiate a more equal division of labor at home with your partner; and say no to “office housework” and other menial tasks at work.

This book will help you understand today’s most essential thinking on the latest agile practices, so your company can develop offerings faster, react to fluctuations in the market, and ensure your strategy and people can adapt at a moment’s notice.

Is it possible to take advantage of the benefits of data collection-and mitigate risks-for both companies and customers?
Most consumers are not very skilled at evaluating privacy risks; they’re either unable to determine the cost of sharing personal data online or unaware of what they’re sharing. (Doesn’t everyone scroll down without reading to click “I accept”?) Without much intervention from most federal or state-level governments, companies are on their own to define what qualifies as reasonable use. In today’s digital surveillance economy, there are no clear-cut best practices or guidelines. Gathering and using information can help customers-we see that in personalization and autofill of online forms. But companies must act in the best interest of their customers and treat the sensitive information users give them with the ethical care of doctors, lawyers, and financial advisers. The challenges of operating in a digital ecosystem aren’t going away. Customer Data and Privacy: The Insights You Need from Harvard Business Review will help you understand the tangled interdependencies and complexities and develop strategies that allow your company to be good stewards, collecting, using, and storing customer data responsibly.

Breaking the taboo starts with you.
Though the pandemic increased the visibility of our whole selves, making virtual vulnerability a more regular workplace occurrence, stigma surrounding mental illness remains. It’s easy to ask for time off when you break a leg; it’s difficult to share with your boss and colleagues if you’re suffering a depressive episode. And, how do those conversations go if you’re the boss? You want to say and do the right thing to support your people and your organization-and avoid legal issues.
Research shows that 1 in 4 adults will have a mental health issue in their lifetime, and yet we’re still ill-equipped at work to address this common experience. The HBR Guide to Better Mental Health at Work collects advice from a variety of experts on addressing an array of mental health issues in the workplace, from supporting someone in a panic attack to navigating sensitive conversations to creating systemic and structural supports for all employees.
