A warm congratulations Josh, from the entire #HWAteam on today’s successful event and continued success #AllInBook
Josh Levs is a man that deeply values not only his family and personal life, but also the importance of innovation and business in a life… ‘We innovate and we love,’ Levs says. ‘Never listen to the cynics,’ he continued, warning of those that think it is not possible to honor both sides. ‘They are wrong.’
Levs joins q to discuss how the work-first ethos is working against ‘all in’ dads, why both male privilege and female gatekeeping must be challenged, and how a big personal risk turned into a sprawling research project.
In his new book, Josh Levs says many dads today want to engage with their families, but old office stereotypes prevail, with corporate policies standing in the way. He says that hurts not only fathers, but families and businesses as well.
Josh Levs is one of FT’s ‘top feminist men.’
In our attempt to make workplaces friendly to moms, don’t forget dads.
Being a dad is hard. It’s even harder when laws and policies are designed to keep dads from doing their fair share. Josh Levs talks about that in All In…
Should be mandatory reading for every CEO, HR, benefits, and similar professional. Groundbreaking.

Investigative reporter, author and, chiefly, father Josh Levs will visit Exeter to talk about the importance of family-friendly workplaces and paid family leave. According to Levs, the American workforce has not ‘caught up’ with the realities and needs of the modern family.
Josh Levs is on a mission – to change the 1950s expectations and perceptions about fatherhood that linger among Americans and American businesses. Those, he says, are hurting not only dads, but moms, children and employers.
Not content to just go back to his desk and keep his head down, Levs, 42, has become a spokesperson for involved dads and a positive crusader for parents’ rights in a country where just 14 percent of companies offer paid leave and one-third of dads have no access to child-care leave at all. The Post talked to him about family leave, the new American dad, and his new book…
Levs has been meeting with staff on Capitol Hill to drum up support for the FAMILY Act, which involves small shared contributions from workers and employers to provide income for people during family or medical leave.
Want to do something great for the dads in your life? Tell your state and federal lawmakers that you want paid family leave. Show employers the facts about better policies. Work to end the stigmas.
‘The vast majority of men say they prioritize their families over work, but the workplace is itself caught in a vicious cycle. The men who do not prioritize their family, they are often in charge of the company,’ says Josh Levs.
Announcement: Josh is coordinating with the New Hampshire Women’s Foundation to make paid family leave a key issue in the nation’s first presidential primary.
Across the U.S., families are struggling because a basic human right is missing: the chance for a newborn baby to have a parent at home who does not have to worry about putting food on the table.
Josh Levs makes a case for paid paternity leave as a gender equality issue in his new book All In.
Particularly commendable is that the book also breaks a number of taboos, from having a fulfilling sex life when both parents are working, to providing a kind of checklist for men of looking after their body and mind.
Inspired by his own fight for paternity leave, (Levs) explores the shifts in policy and pop culture, including an end to the hapless dad figure, that have to take place before fathers can have work/life balance too.
With the expectation of being good workers, men wind up being ‘dads in the shadows,’ in the phrasing of Josh Levs.
The Jewish Reason I Fight for Paid Family Leave
Levs brings together and discusses the most up-to-date research on fatherhood while also proposing practical and policy solutions.
In ‘All In,’ Levs covers every aspect of the issue. He includes every category of dad you can think of, from the single dad and the custody-battling dad, to the military dad and the imprisoned dad. He also has suggestions for workaholic dads seeking more balance in their lives. Levs lays out solid ideas for putting better policies in place; he even suggests a way to create a paid family leave by lowering taxes.
Are we really so far behind that we need science to tell us that men are absolutely capable of taking care of children? Josh Levs asks that question in his new book, ‘All In.’

When businesses create policies that are fair and non-discriminatory, they hold onto more employees.
From All In: 10 things everyone should know about working dads
Now there’s a new book that points out that a new generation of dads are also joining us in this fight.
We need to push everyone to understand the truth about what’s going on with families. You cannot claim to have any ideas about family values unless you value fathers.
It is much more than just a case for paternity leave. Levs writes about work/life balance, dads in pop culture, fatherlessness, and even sex within a partnership after kids arrive.

‘These problems are one and the same. The lack of paid maternity leave and the lack of paternity leave both come from the exact same source,’ Levs told ABC News. ‘This is the problem in America: the source is a view in our workplace policies that women should stay home and men should keep working. … Our workplace policies are built around that ancient, outdated thinking.’
