@MartinSLewis @itvMLshow Research completed by @_EqualParenting at @UniBirmingham & @WAFProject at @UniKent showed only 4.5% of managers sampled (n=742) reported that their organisation paid #homeworking employees a weekly overhead cost to be claimed back from HMRC during the COVID-19 lockdown

Frustrating new study on pandemic gender inequity: Women have less work effectiveness, flexibility, engagement and wellbeing at work than men. Work-life balance a top issue for women. Doesn't even make the top 10 for men. https://t.co/EeFPI58omY via @McKinsey HT @eve_rodsky

Below is a thread with a list of a lot of different calls for papers on work/employment, work/family and Human Relations during COVID19 pandemic and lockdown. @WFRN

[Prof. Heejung Chung @HeejungChung]

I know this is a cheeky request, but if anyone knows of #COVID19 special call for papers in journals specializing in the area of work/employment - work/family research, please share them here!! #AcademicTwitter Thank you! #AcademicChatter #academicWriting

[Prof. Heejung Chung @HeejungChung]

Flexible working can make us work longer hours due to blurring of boundaries, passion paradox (wanting to just finish that last bit of work), fear of stigma against working flexibly, and sometimes bc employers just ask for more. see my article from 2016: https://t.co/jCGRGw8QiE

It doesn’t work to move work exactly as it was done at the office to the virtual world. To start, people shouldn’t be judged by the hours they work, but by the product https://t.co/gdArh3eICx

[Prof. Heejung Chung @HeejungChung]

Some truths in here, but again reemphasizes the narrative of childcare as a individual issue/responsibility rather than a societal issue, esp. during times like THE PANDEMIC. It is on organisations and governments to ensure both parents can be involved. https://t.co/Coklu8SRkF
