Ep 104 - Equality at home with Clare Twelvetrees

Are the household responsibilities shared equally in your home? Or is the majority of the emotional, mental and domestic load taken on by one person? In this week’s episode, I speak to Clare Twelvetrees about how we can create more equality in our homes. Clare is the Chair of Equality Starts at Home (ESAH) and in our conversation, we discuss how to start a conversation about equality with your partner and share tips for workplaces and line managers on supporting equality at home. COMPLETE THE HOUSEHOLD BALANCE CALCULATOR Equality Starts at Home has come together with ThirdShift which has developed a Household Balance Calculator. Answer questions about what chores you do and how long they take you and the tool calculates what the balance is in a percentage. An objective way to start the conversation in your household!
