00:00Accord is for couples and families who simply want less stress and more harmony in their day-to-day

00:20lives. And there's a really interesting like sociology study showing that when families

00:27divide chores more fairly, each family member's stress levels reduce drastically and communication

00:38improves. And this eventually leads to happier relationships and better relationships.

00:57We've already seen among Accord users that the gap has shrunk dramatically for the people

01:10using the app. So before Accord, these women were generally doing twice as much as men did.

01:19And with Accord, the gap has been reduced by 60% if we look at the gender balance. So

01:27it's not like all the way there, but we see a huge improvement there, which is really fun

01:35for us.

01:50Jag tycker att det har blivit en stor skillnad. Nu finns det tydliga uppgifter som är fördelade

01:57och alla har själv tagit ansvar för att de ska ta det här. Jag slipper ju vara projektledaren

02:05och vara den som initierar hela tiden. Kan du plocka i diskmaskinen? Kan du göra det? Kan du

02:10göra det? Så nu kan barnen och min sambo göra saker utan att jag behöver vara den som initierar det.

02:18Tack till elever och personal vid Accord.
