Webinar: Parental Fog Index launch

16th June 2026 | 11am to 12pm

How visible is family support — and why it now matters more than ever

The Parental Fog Index 2026 reveals a growing gap between what working parents and carers need to see from employers and what employers choose to make visible.

Join Jane van Zyl, CEO of Working Families, and Emma Spitz, Chief Client Officer at the Executive Coaching Consultancy, for an in‑depth discussion on what the latest Parental Fog Index shows about employer transparency, family‑friendly working, and the changing expectations of today’s workforce.

Drawing on seven years of research and a new, expanded framework, the 2026 Index provides the most comprehensive picture yet of how UK employers communicate their support for parents, carers and prospective parents, and where significant gaps remain.

In this webinar, we’ll explore:

• Why visibility of family‑friendly policies is now a critical talent and retention issue
• What sets Beacon employers apart and what others can learn from them
• Where employers are falling behind on communicating support, particularly for fathers, carers and diverse family structures
• How clearer communication, culture signals and leadership behaviours can turn policy into lived experience
• What practical steps employers can take to close the policy‑visibility gap

This session is designed for HR, people, DEI and senior leaders who want to attract and retain talent, respond to evolving employee expectations, and build genuinely family‑inclusive workplaces.

Whether you are already investing in family‑friendly working or just beginning your journey, this webinar will offer practical insight, evidence and inspiration to help you move from good intent to visible impact.
