Men in Care. Workplace support for caring masculinities - MiC

" The European project MiC aims to improve organizational conditions for men taking caring roles. Its main focus are organizational players and cultures that can help men to do what they want, but sometimes fail to do: be more involved in caring roles. MiC will identify and share best practice models for achieving a high level of work-life-balance for employee. Both men and women should have time and flexibility to care for themselves and others (e.g. sick family members, children, friends). Through this the gender bias of support measures in the public and private sector can be reduced. In the MiC project we organized multiplier events with key stakeholders (companies, orgaizations, trade unions), we implemented organizational analysis in selected companies and organizations, we organized and implemented trainings for male employees and management in companies and organizations, developed manual and guidelines on WLB for employers and policy recommendations to promote work-life-balance for men.
