Modern Families Index 2026: Weathering the Storm

Parental Leave and Family Support UK Benchmark 2025

Working parents and carers are weathering a storm of growing workplace pressures, and the impact on wellbeing, confidence and retention is becoming impossible for employers to ignore.

The Modern Families Index 2026 Report reveals what’s really happening behind the data: why efficiency gains and hybrid working alone aren’t enough — and where organisations risk falling behind if support doesn’t keep pace.

Inside the report, you’ll uncover:

  • The risks facing employers now
    Stress levels are soaring, confidence in employers has flatlined, and talent is at risk.
  • Four critical pressure points
    From the unequal care burden on women to the growing strain on the sandwich generation.
  • Actionable Solutions
    Practical insight into how clarity, consistency and culture drive retention, wellbeing and performance.

Don’t wait for the pressure to ease — understand the risks and lead through the storm.
