March was a busy month as organisations recognised International Women’s Day with the theme of Inspire Inclusion. In recognition, inclusio published a blog on Beyond the Numbers: Gender and the Work-Life Balance Challenge. Read how work and life balance is experienced differently for men and women with caring responsibilities.
In today’s rapidly changing world, it's accepted that employees need to grow and develop their skills. However, research by Natwest Bank shows that 40% of employees only engage in L&D that is pushed to them.
How can we help employees understand the importance of upskilling?
This month we launched inclusio Learning Labs. Our mission is to equip employees with the knowledge and skills to thrive in work and deliver a better experience for your customers.
The Learning Labs encourages your people to invest in themselves with an experience designed to unlock potential. Get access to a vast catalogue of bite sized, certified learning, where employees can learn anywhere in the world from any device.

Gender And Work-Life Balance
In partnership with Ulster University Business School, the team assessed three years of inclusio scientific data on organisational culture, revealing that after becoming fathers, men see a slight enhancement in their work-life balance with a 1% increase. Conversely, women experience a decline of 6% in work-life balance after becoming mothers.
The gender gap widens even further for those caring for dependent adults, with men experiencing a slight improvement of 1.6% and women facing a substantial decline of 8.4%.
These findings underscore the need for organisations in Ireland to address gender specific challenges and promote a more equitable and inclusive workplace environment. By implementing targeted strategies that support working parents, particularly women, employers can achieve greater gender equality at work and improve well-being for all caregivers.
