A recent study by The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center highlights a concerning trend: 66% of parents experience loneliness and isolation due to parenthood, with 38% feeling unsupported. 👨👩👧👦 At UrbanSitter, we recognize these challenges firsthand. We are more than just a service; we are a community committed to making support for parents a standard, not a perk. Our Corporate Care program empowers employers to provide caregiving support, which is essential to improving work-life balance for parents. 🔄 Transforming the workplace to support parental well-being isn’t just good ethics; it’s good business. When parents are supported, they are more engaged, productive, and fulfilled—benefits that ripple throughout the entire organization. Let's make parental support essential. Because when parents are supported, everyone benefits. #mentalhealth #worklifebalance #urbansitterbenefits #RTO #childcare #workingparents #HR
