Description of the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:

For employees worldwide, coronavirus is causing a clash of professional and personal responsibilities, and presents an urgent question for companies: How do you create policies that let employees balance career and family — during a pandemic and beyond?

This ESG Insider podcast episode explores how corporate America is responding to COVID-19 with new policies for employees caring for children and elderly relatives. S&P Global partnered with AARP to research how leave policies are evolving in the U.S. private sector. Our research is based on a survey of 1,573 individuals; plus gender and equality data from Equileap, which covers nearly 1,400 U.S. companies; and the SAM Corporate Sustainability Assessment, an annual evaluation of more than 7,300 companies' sustainability practices.

In the episode, we unpack that research and interview women on the ground balancing childcare, virtual schooling and eldercare alongside demanding careers amid the pandemic.

We hear about the harrowing experience of a healthcare executive who went to work at one of the largest hospitals in New York City weeks before COVID-19 hit. We interview a Microsoft executive about how the tech giant has made flexibility “the new dogma” for employees amid the pandemic. S&P Global Market Intelligence’s President talks about becoming a parent just months after taking on her leadership role. And the founder of a sustainable investment firm shares her experience working from home while managing virtual school for her young children— an experience she likens “running a marathon at a sprint pace.”
