Work-life balance

Mckinsey found the challenge of achieving work-life balance is often exacerbated by gender stereotypes, which are often avoided by same-gender DCCs. Drawing on qualitative interviews and data collected for Women in the Workplace, a 2021 report published in partnership with LeanIn.Org, they found that same-gender DCCs tend to manage household responsibilities using a range of strategies that allow for greater flexibility. These include:

• Doing tasks each partner minds less.
• Focusing on natural skills and inclinations to determine responsibilities.
• Allocating tasks based on available time and flexibility.
• Responding dynamically to changes affecting work and home life.

Company culture

Their holistic, rigorous approach delivers business value by building cultures of continuous improvement and shaping successful change programs. Deep expertise, data analytics, and a proven framework help leaders more than double their odds of delivering successful change at scale. They set clear goals and determine how the organization can achieve them. They tap organizational networks to drive progress, and they make changes personally shifting mindsets and motivating new behaviors at the individual level. The result is a more future-proofed organization with a culture that can sustain superior performance.
