What if stepping away from work was one of the best career decisions you could make?

As more fathers grapple with competing demands at home and in the office, are workplaces evolving fast enough to support modern families?

When CEO Xander Ong took the full 10 weeks of parental leave after the birth of his second child, he discovered lessons that extended far beyond parenting.

Hosted by Michelle Martin, this conversation explores why so many fathers still leave parental leave untapped, what employers can learn from global best practices, and how supporting fathers may be one of the smartest investments organisations can make in wellbeing, productivity and human flourishing.

Guest: Dr Xander Ong, CEO, Centre for Fathering.
