There is an unequal distribution of domestic labor in our country and organizations have the opportunity to address it.

Mothers with full time careers grapple with the “double shift.” Which refers to juggling both a full time paid job and the majority of domestic and mental labor it requires to run a household.

According to recent studies by both Deloitte and McKinsey:

• 57% of women—nearly 60% for women of color—plan to leave their workplaces in the next two year or less, while 21% say they will leave sooner than that, all citing lack of work-life balance.

• Most women described feeling as if they always had to be "on" for work, with only 22% saying they feel their employers have helped them establish clear boundaries between work and personal time.

• Nearly a quarter of mothers said they worried that their work performance was being judged negatively because of their caregiving responsibilities, compared with 11% of fathers.

• New mothers take on more housework than their husbands, and even more so when the woman makes more money, according to research from the Institute of Family Studies.
