Jamie Coakley, VP of People for Electric, set up a parent forum at the company to open up discussions about how parents are faring during the pandemic.

She realized the company's efforts (flex hours, introducing a childcare stipend, and opening the office for anyone who needed it) were not cutting it. Leaders have to get more creative to help prevent burnout.
