What employers need to know about growing up online

We’re pleased to share the latest Editor’s Choice article in City Security magazine, “Growing up online: What employers need to know to support parents, carers and the next generation of employees.”

Featuring our partners Employers’ Initiative on Domestic Abuse (EIDA), this important article explores a topic that is becoming increasingly relevant for employers: how technology is shaping the experiences of children, young people and families, and what that means in the workplace.

The article explores the pressures facing parents and carers, the realities many young employees may already be navigating, and the wider cultural impact of social media, deepfakes and AI companionship platforms. It is a timely reminder that these issues do not exist in isolation, and that employers have a role to play in understanding and responding to them.

What makes this piece especially valuable is its focus on practical action. It goes beyond raising awareness to highlight how employers can support their people with compassion, confidence and useful guidance.

We encourage employers, HR teams and anyone with responsibility for workplace wellbeing to read the article and reflect on how their organisation can better support parents, carers and younger employees in a changing digital world.
