How can we support our families and — in the process — build the economic resilience of our businesses?
Imagine this scenario: a hospital interpreter receives an unexpected call informing her that her son's preschool teacher quit and they need to keep him home for the foreseeable future. She loved her job, it paid well, and she was essential in bridging communication gaps between patients and healthcare providers. But she had to leave that great job, and her son had to leave the school he loves, because the teacher couldn't afford to remain in the profession.
An additional layer of benefit comes from enhanced company reputation. Businesses recognized for their supportive practices attract top talent and often see increased consumer favorability, which can drive sales and increase market share.The benefits of child care support also extend into fostering a more inclusive workplace. By alleviating one of the key barriers to full workforce participation — especially for women and single parents — businesses promote diversity and equality.
