Why Working Parent Burnout Is a Workplace Risk (with Dr. Rosina McAlpine)

Why Working Parent Burnout Is a Workplace Risk (with Dr. Rosina McAlpine)

Christian Harris is joined by Dr. Rosina McAlpine, award-winning educator and founder of Win Win Parenting, to explore why burnout among working parents deserves to be treated as a genuine workplace risk rather than a personal wellbeing issue.

Rosina shares the research and data behind her work, including why general wellbeing initiatives fall short for working parents, the stark gender disparity in burnout and mental health outcomes, and why identifying psychosocial risk starts with collecting the right internal data. She sets out a practical path for organisations: measure the risks, train leaders properly, offer targeted programmes, and build a genuinely family-friendly culture that holds up over time, not just on paper.

The episode also covers small, practical changes that make a real difference, from meeting times to season-specific support programmes, and closes with Rosina's five-step Closing the Gap guide and a free working parent risk assessment tool.
