Pepperdine Graziadio Assistant Professor Bobbi Thomason and DBA student Michael Cusumano Collaborate on Harvard Business Review Article
While families have been understandably exhausted by many dimensions of the pandemic,
remote work led to a profound change for the better in many households: Dads were

and Executive Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) candidate Michael Cusumano tackle
the subject of how fathers can maintain active roles in their children’s lives once
offices re-open. The article, appearing in Harvard Business Review, describes the
benefits families enjoy when dad is engaged and navigating obstacles such as dad’s
asking for time off from work to help at home. Despite the challenges, write Thomason
and Cusumano, fathers who are more involved with their families are less likely to
think about quitting their jobs and experience greater job satisfaction.
