New dads don't engage with parental programmes. But it's not because they don't want support it's because the right support doesn't exist. Dr Anna Machin (evolutionary anthropologist) and Steve Cardwell (The Deliberate Dad) break down what actually happens to men when they become fathers, why the return to work is the real risk, and what companies can do to unlock performance and potential in new dads.
