What happens when the village that helps raise your child shuts down? It’s the pivotal question many are struggling to answer. We asked the experts for advice and insight on Generation W’s weekly ZOOM/Facebook live series, REfresh, delving into newly released research revealing the disproportionate impact from COVID on caregivers and how employers can help relieve some of the burden. Two of the women behind the numbers; Dr. Alison Bryant, SVP with AARP Research and Lindsey White, senior editor with S&P Global Market Intelligence shared what the statistics mean and how we can work together to help workers in crisis. The episode inspired a recent LinkedIn article by Generation W Founder, Donna Orender about the personal and professional crunch caused by COVID and the multi-generational caregiving responsibilities many women take on every day. Orender’s article, What happens when the village that helps raise your child shuts down, struck a chord with Influencer Nicolas Bordas, Vice President International for TBWA/Worldwide and Board Member at OMNICOM Europe. Bordas featured Orender’s article in his monthly shout out, 10 Articles Not To Miss From December 2020, alongside 9 other worldwide LinkedIn contributors for December 2020, including, Arianna Huffington, Bertalan Meskó, MD, PhD, Winnie Byanyima, Harriet Green, Alain Dehaze, Bill Gates, Jacki Zehner, Marla Gottschalk, Ph.D., and Tom Emrich. REfresh resumes on January 13th, 2021.
