Executive Briefing for HR & People Leaders
Employee Stress Doesn’t Start at Work — It Starts at Home
Children’s use of smartphones, gaming, and social media is creating real pressure for families — and increasingly impacting employee focus, stress, and wellbeing at work.
A short, practical executive briefing for HR and People leaders.
Thursday 21st May at 2:00pm | Live online

What organisations are increasingly seeing
Employees are arriving at work already under pressure — not because of work itself, but because of what is happening at home.
The Impact on Employees
- Distraction during the working day — employees preoccupied with devices, gaming, social media, and online activity
- Ongoing stress at home — uncertainty around boundaries, sleep, conflict, and what is reasonable to allow
- Reduced focus and energy — family pressures affecting concentration, performance, and overall wellbeing
Why It Matters for Organisations
- These challenges do not stay at home — they directly affect focus, wellbeing, and performance at work
- Working parents need practical support — clear, realistic tools they can apply in everyday family life
- Organisations can respond meaningfully — by supporting employees in a way that is visible, relevant, and practical
