Working parents: mitigating career impacts

500 Women Scientists, a global nonprofit network of women scientists, outlines a number of ways faculty, staff, leaders and principal investigators (PIs) can offer immediate support and mitigate long-term career impacts for working parents during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A few examples include:

  • Engage with your staff members to understand their unique needs and work collaboratively to develop potential solutions or accommodations.
  • Accommodate flexible hours and deadlines to the extent feasible.
  • Consider how team-based assignments might provide support, flexibility, accountability, and professional social connections.
  • Be cognizant of assignments that may be challenging, such as lengthy or last-minute meetings.
  • Expect and create an environment that is welcoming to parents who may need to step away.
  • Model stepping away and taking vacation time and communicate with your team about the value of self-care and recharging, especially when their productivity is diminished.
  • PIs should consider the barriers post-doctorate academics face, such as challenges obtaining data for their projects; the cancellation of conferences, networking and job interviews; and uncertainty in funding.
  • Be creative in designing data collection procedures to minimize the impact of lost productivity.
  • Look for opportunities to promote the intellectual contributions of women, especially women of color. In particular, look at your co-authorship, acknowledgment, and citation practices critically.
