The worldwide pandemic of COVID-19 has brought about the practice of teleworking, which has changed the work-life balance and made the boundary between workplace and home unclear. Considering such a new work-life balance management can be one of the keys to achieving gender equality and D&I at work and at home in Japan.
Inviting a Norwegian researcher, Dr Tanja Nordberg from Oslo Metropolitan University, as a speaker, this seminar provides an opportunity to learn about European research on teleworking practice.

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t: gendered ideals of work and parenthood when employees use ICTs to take work home
An increasing number of workers around the globe are using ICTs to bring work home. Nordberg will present findings based on qualitative interviews with 55 professionals with caregiving responsibilities in Norway, examining what happens with mothers´ and fathers´ experiences of being good workers and good parents, when work enters the family domain.
Nordberg will discuss employees´ rationales for bringing work home, how work and family time is perceived when work is brought home, and also how ideals of work and parenthood are challenged by new practices. On one hand, findings show that digital communication across the work and family spheres may enable working fathers and mothers to comply with ideals of work and parenthood. On the other hand, findings show that taking work home changes how work and family time is experienced.
New technologies and changed work practices mean that work can increasingly enter the family sphere, and in particular challenging ideals of motherhood.
