When child care is a challenge for employees, there is a 'ripple effect' that inhibits colleagues from getting work done and a 'waterfall effect' that challenges both leadership and their direct reports with a consistent workflow. Child care as a benefit can help solve this.
The time has come for employers to offer a child care benefit to help cover the cost of daycare. It’s an HR strategy that delivers high returns for all members of an organization, from employees to CEOs to shareholders. #childcareasabenefit#childcarebenefit#hr#hrleadersship
As more companies adopt DEI initiatives and identify themselves as advocates for BIPOC employees, one of the most tangible ways to signal true alignment with these initiatives is to provide a child care benefit. Plus, a child care benefit helps attract female talent. #hrleaders
According to @EdSurge “workplace child care benefits aren’t some abstract idea being floated by businesses or the U.S. government for some far-off future. They’re already here, and employees are already taking advantage of them.” #childcareasabenefit#hr#hrleaders
The businesses that address the child care need will attract top talent, generate loyalty among employees, and avoid lost productivity, job churn, and ongoing recruitment to replace employees who’ve chosen to work for companies who provide a child care benefit. #childcarecrisis
Among the pandemic's lessons is that parents who can't find child care leave the workforce. Data from @McKinsey showed 45 % of moms with kids aged 5 and under who left the workforce during the pandemic cited child care as a major reason. #childcarebenefit#hr#hrcommunity
According to the White House, the cost of child care has soared more than 25% in the last decade. The last three years have proven that without child care providers that are affordable and reliable, working parents cannot fully participate in the labor market. #childcarecrisis
In 19 wealthy countries outside the US analyzed in a @CareDotCom article, a single parent of low earnings would pay less than 5% of their wages. In the US, such a parent would need to spend between one-third and half of their salary for the same care. #childcarecrisis#childcare
Recently we’ve been discussing how investing in child care helps families, businesses and the economy. One additional benefit of strong child care is support of future generations, according to @CareDotCom https://t.co/HfFcTugsa0 #futuregeneration#earlychildhood
@CareDotCom reported that studies show parents of color are more likely to leave the workforce over child care issues than their white colleagues. In this year’s Future of Benefits report, 90% of HR leaders said child care benefits can help support a diverse workforce.
Reten has a sister company, @MetrixIQ. MetrixIQ stewards public funds to make childcare + education a reality for our nation’s families. That’s why we can assist with daycare and any applicable government funding. #childcareasabenefit#childcarecrisis#childcare#hr#hrleader

A report by @BrightHorizons surveyed working parents after the pandemic, and 90% say they need help meeting responsibilities at work and home. Yet only half say their employers have modified or added new policies and benefits. https://t.co/YTIq5TyfDO #childcarecrisis#hr
