John Tyreman had always helped around the house, but cooking and looking after the kids ramped up when he began to work from home full time amid the COVID-19 pandemic. His employer encourages work breaks that Tyreman often spends playing catch with his 5-year-old son while his two younger children nap. And if he were to move on to a different company after the coronavirus crisis ebbs, Tyreman says he'd want the same support. "That kind of flexibility would now be a requirement if I were to take a new job,'' says Tyreman, 30, who works for a digital advertising agency and lives with his wife and children in Culpeper, Virginia. "If a company did not provide that kind of flexibility, it would be a serious red flag."
