Abstract

This article analyzes the level of parental involvement in children's distance learning during the crisis periods of 2020 and 2025 in Ukraine, with a particular focus on its impact on internal organizational communication. The empirical basis consists of two online surveys, each involving 800 respondents, which trace the changes in intensity, forms, and consequences of parental engagement in the educational process. The methodology includes comparative analysis of frequency data, supported by qualitative interpretation of typical behavioral patterns. The findings reveal a significant increase in cognitive load, time consumption, and emotional exhaustion among working parents between 2020 and 2025. These factors, in turn, have led to fragmented internal communication, role conflicts, and reduced effectiveness of team interaction. The article outlines directions for further research, particularly in the area of communicative support for parent-employees within hybrid work environments.
