Stress | The Hidden Danger undermining Return to Office and Productivity

New research, The Modern Families Index 2025, with 3,000 UK parents and carers shows high stress, and missed productivity that could easily be fixed to support business performance.

Parents and carers report they are feeling less supported by employers now than they were two years ago, just at the moment when Return to Office requires that extra effort.

This report provides crucial insights into the evolving landscape of combining careers with family and work-life balance at a pivotal moment in time.

We explore the issues and challenges that face working parents today, with suggestions and solutions that will help employers engage, retain and plan for an ever-changing future.
