Work and family: childcare and hobbies

What can you do for your career while on parental leave? What business skills are acquired by a woman raising children? How to find a job using your talents and market requirements? Scientist and entrepreneur Tina Seelig shares her career development experience.

Dream Job: Talent + Market

How many people have told you that you have to follow your passion to be successful? I’m sure many. There is nothing difficult in giving advice to people who are trying hard to figure out how to live their lives. However, such advice most often oversimplifies the essence of the problems and misleads the listener. Don’t misunderstand me, I take the issue of passion seriously and I think that it is extremely important for a person to know what controls his actions. However, this is not enough.

Passion is just the starting point. In addition to it, you must understand what your talents are and how the world around them evaluates them. If you are passionate about something, but you are not a sufficient professional in this field, it would be strange to start a career in it. You may love basketball, but your height does not allow you to compete on an equal footing with other players. You can love jazz, but you can’t play a single note. In both cases, you are unlikely to become a professional, but you may well remain a passionate amateur by attending competitions and concerts.

To continue our reflections, you may have passion and talent in one area, but there is no market for it all. For example, you can be a gifted artist who truly loves to draw, or a surfer who knows how to ride any wave. However, we all know that the market for these skills is extremely small. An attempt to build a career around such a passion often ends in disappointment. I think you should treat these hobbies as great hobbies.

It may also happen that, in addition to talent in one area, you have a skill in another area for which there is a large enough market. In this case, you can think about finding a job related to this particular skill. For example, if you are an experienced accountant, you will always find an employer who needs to draw up a balance sheet. This is how most people in the world live. They have jobs to showcase their skills, but they can’t wait to get home to focus on what they love most – their hobbies. They count the days until the weekend, vacation or retirement.

The worst thing is if you have no passion for your work, no skills, no market for what you are good at. The coolest thing is when your passion somehow intersects with both your skills and the demands of the market. If you manage to find that crossover point, you’ll be in a great position to have your work enrich your life, not just provide the financial resources to enjoy life after work is over. You need to strive for a career in which you will do what you love, and for this (what a surprise!) You will also be paid.

Career and parenting: only pluses

It seems to me that it is important for a person to frequently reevaluate his life and career. Most people rarely re-evaluate their role, spending more years than necessary in a particular job, and therefore not optimally spending their lives. It seems to me right if you set for yourself the frequency of such reflections. Some people adjust and optimize their lives almost weekly or even daily. Others wait years before discovering that they are not at all where they hoped to be.

Some situations literally force you to reevaluate your own life. For example, when you decide to start a family, a completely different game begins. All of a sudden you need to strike a balance between work and childcare.

As children grow, their needs constantly change. Every year you have completely new responsibilities and problems to solve. Parenting can be considered an ideal opportunity to develop creativity and develop skills that are useful in any environment. Raising and caring for children develops the ability to multitask and make decisions under stress. And, of course, this allows you to become a real master of the negotiation process.

The problem of combining career and family responsibilities is especially common among women. My own experience shows that there are many possibilities here. Having and raising a child forces you to be more innovative and not consider traditional employment options with limited flexibility. With your child’s needs constantly changing, you can experiment with work with varying degrees of responsibility.

Although it doesn’t always seem obvious, the time in which you can make a career is long enough, and children stay small for only a few years. In other words, you can significantly accelerate your career path as your children grow up.

If you don’t want to work hard until your kids are older, don’t quit work entirely, but keep it on a slow fire. If you have not gone too far from work, it will not be so difficult for you to return. It’s quite simple to organize: you can either work part-time for a regular company or become a volunteer. This will allow you not only to retain your skills, but also to provide enough confidence in yourself that will help you when you decide to return to active employment.

The experience of Karen Matthews, mother of four and marketing consultant, is worth looking at. Karen works part-time: she takes on projects when she can, and if she’s too busy, she passes them on to her partner. An interesting example is Liza Benatar, the mother of two daughters, who decided to pay more attention to the school in which they studied. Lisa, an expert in the field of alternative energy, has started an educational program at the school that teaches children about environmental protection.

Finding a balance between work and parenting led me to the best career decision of my life. I wanted to develop intellectually, but at the same time not deprive my son of the opportunity to communicate with me. So I estimated each year how much time I would need for each of these activities and found ways to participate in projects that allowed me to remain as flexible as possible.

I took on tasks that I wouldn’t even think about if I didn’t have a child. I started writing books for children, launched a website for teachers, and even started teaching the basics of the scientific worldview at a private elementary school. In the long run, this experience proved to be extremely useful when I returned to full-time work. I gained credibility as a writer, learned how to build websites, and gained valuable teaching experience—in other words, I developed skills that I, in my current role, use every day.

As you move along your career path, it helps to periodically reevaluate where you are and where you want to be. This will allow you to quickly make course corrections, especially when things don’t go as planned or when exceptional new opportunities arise in front of you.

From the book “Do It Yourself”

How a man can go on parental leave

For example, 35% of working married men completely rule out the possibility of taking parental leave instead of their wife. 26% of men would rather not agree to such a vacation. Allows the possibility of going “on maternity leave” instead of a wife every seventh (12%). 27% of respondents say they are ready to sit with the baby.

At the same time, according to the Social Insurance Fund, more than 13,000 parental leaves are issued by men every year in Russia. And for women, for comparison, almost 700 thousand vacations.

Work will wait

Parental leave can be used in full or in parts not only by the mother, but also by the child’s father, grandmother, grandfather, other relative or guardian who actually cares for the child, Rossiyskaya Gazeta-Nedelya was told in Ministry of Labor. Like a woman, they can also be on such leave for three years.

For the period of parental leave, the employee retains the place of work (position). Childcare leave is counted towards the length of service, as well as the length of service in the specialty (with the exception of cases of early assignment of an old-age insurance pension).

Parental benefits will be paid until the child is 1.5 years old. The minimum allowance for caring for a child up to 1.5 years is 6,752 rubles per month. The maximum size must not exceed 27 984 rubles (40% of salary).

Fathers on parental leave, like mothers, may work part-time, or part-time, or at home, while retaining the right to receive benefits and receive wages for the hours worked or for the amount of work performed (for home). The employer is obliged to provide an employee who has a child with unpaid leave (vacation at his own expense) for up to 5 calendar days.

Vacation – out of plan

Also, an employee who has become a father has the right to take annual paid leave outside the vacation schedule. At the request of this employee, annual leave is granted to him during the period when his wife is on maternity leave, regardless of the time of his continuous work with this employer.

In addition to parental leave, mothers are also entitled to “maternity leave” – ​​maternity leave. It lasts from 140 to 194 days, depending on the characteristics of pregnancy and childbirth. Naturally, only the expectant mother can take this vacation.

And the experience goes on…

When a person is on parental leave, contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation are paid for him. Thus, time spent on maternity leave is not considered lost for future retirement. First, the length of service increases. Secondly, points are added to the individual account of the future pensioner – 1.8 pension coefficients per year.

Expert’s opinion

According to Vice-Rector of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation Alexander Safonov, in Russia, as a rule, men who earn less than their wives go on parental leave.
