Home Renaissance Foundation and the International Center for Work and Family of the IESE Business School have carried out a study to understand the impact of housework on individuals, their family relationships and their well-being at work.

The results have yielded interesting data on how levels of well-being at work improve (psychological empowerment, job satisfaction, greater professional commitment or job crafting) when the attitude towards housework is positive. It is also observed that couple relationships and communication with children improve when there is good planning and disposition towards housework. The negative note: the misuse of technology, the lack of techno-references and phubbing threaten our mental health and family well-being.

On Tuesday 16 May at 19.00 at the Fundación Telefónica (C/Fuencarral, 3. Madrid) and as part of the Telos Cycle ‘The Future of Work’, we will analyse the results of the study with experts in a round table discussion. It’s free but registration is required.
