The pandemic caused by Covid-19 forced the vast majority of companies in the world to apply home office in order to stay active. The purpose of this intervention is to generate learnings that help people be more empathetic with the realities that parents in home office with minor children live regarding the balance between work and family life. The methodology to be used is the qualitative approach, applying the interview technique, to gather information on how the parents working in home office for BlackBox manage the balance between work and family life. The results detail the advantages and disadvantages from the experiences of the interviewees with home office; and also a series of best practices recommended by them.
