Recognizing GovCIO’s Working Parents
Whether juggling childcare, school pick-up or drop-off schedules, attending parent-teacher meetings, helping with homework, or cheering at sporting events — working parents pretty much do it all.
In recognition of their commitment, sacrifice, and tireless efforts, GovCIO is celebrating National Working Parents Day. Celebrated on September 16th each year, National Working Parents Day acknowledges all the inspiring working parents who balance work commitments with being the best parents possible for the well-being of their families.
Thank you to all of the working parents here at GovCIO for everything that you do.

Understanding the Challenges Working Parents Face
To create a corporate culture more supportive of working parents it is imperative to first understand the challenges they can encounter in the workplace. A study on working parents published in the International Journal of Human Resource Studies underscored five main areas of concern:
- Work-life conflict
- Stereotyping
- Exhaustion
- Changing work schedules, and
- Career growth opportunities
"Working parents really do it all. They are never really "off the clock" and here at GovCIO we want to ensure that they are fully supported and can maintain the best work-life balance possible."
