In today's workforce, businesses are increasingly recognizing the importance of supporting their employees' work-life balance, with childcare being a crucial aspect. Childcare costs can be a significant burden for working families, often leading to financial strain and challenges in finding reliable care. The impact of childcare extends beyond financial concerns, affecting the well-being of working parents and their ability to pursue career opportunities. Businesses also have a vested interest in supporting childcare for their employees, as it directly influences productivity, retention rates, and overall workforce performance.

Helping employers to positively impact the well-being of #workingparents | Founder, President, CEO | Mom of 4
With all that’s happening behind the scenes, many working parents have mastered navigating this extra load so it does not impede on their work. More specifically, working mothers have learned to compartmentalize the weight of both. When can we stop suffering in silence? #plusonemeetings #founder #childcare #benefits #workingmom #worklifereimagined #workplace #silence
Here’s what your employees with families may not be telling you… ❌ Childcare is an endless struggle. On average, it takes parents 60 hours to source, vet, select, and hire/register with a childcare provider according to Helpr. ❌ They’re missing out, both in-office and at-home. For many, it comes down to having to choose whether to go after that big promotion or miss family dinner, or vice-versa. ❌ There is a never-ending load. The endless array of family needs means it’s a constant to-do list. And this requires a perpetual awareness and cognitive labor. So what can employers do? Be proactive and ask this: “How can we help? What changes can we make so that we all continue to succeed in our roles?” The key takeaway here for organizations, executives, managers, and teammates is to recognize the collective challenges of working parents and start the conversation. Talk to your teams, acknowledge what is going on behind the scenes, and determine a plan to provide them with resources that make them feel seen, valued, and supported. #plusonemeetings #childcare #childcarebenefits #workingparents #benefits #parents #hr #support #workforce #worklifeintegration #resources

Helping employers to positively impact the well-being of #workingparents | Founder, President, CEO | Mom of 4
My mission is to reimagine the work-life balance. Recent data shows that the stress of working parents is at an all-time high, and many have left the workforce to cope. Why can’t working parents have both? ❓ Nail that big in-person business pitch with on-site meeting childcare. ❓ Pursue professional growth opportunities with on-site event childcare. ❓ Establish a fulfilling career and still make it home on time for dinner. About 40% of the U.S. workforce are working parents with a child at home. And about 11% of this workforce has a young child under 5 at home. We must rethink the future of our workforce. And it starts with childcare benefits. #plusonemeetings #founder #childcare #benefits #workingmom #worklifebalance

This was a great read about employee's expectations of how their employer should be helping them with childcare support. If you've recently had feedback on a staff survey or pulse survey about childcare support, this would be a good starting point to see how others think about employer support. "Bright Horizons' Modern Family Index, which surveyed 2,004 respondents in the United States, found that parents are less likely to feel afraid that their family responsibilities will have negative implications at work."

Modern parenthood presents challenges, with childcare costs as a major hurdle. Workplaces must adapt to support parents, offering flexible arrangements, on-site childcare, or child-friendly office spaces. Inclusive policies, including paid family leave, are crucial. By embracing these innovations, companies not only attract top talent but also foster an inclusive culture. It's time to break the mold, creating workplaces where career success and parenting harmoniously coexist. #WorkplaceSupport #ParentingInnovation #InclusivePolicies https://lnkd.in/dzUY4DHn

A new report reveals that across Great Britain, childcare 👶 provisions have dropped, and just 29% local councils currently have enough nursery spaces for under-twos. It’s just one of an array of pressures that working parents have to consider 💭 – and with research from Glassdoor showing around 40% of the workforce currently have an under-eighteen at home 🏡 while 11% have a child under five at home, that's a significant proportion of employees. Often, when it comes to contact centers, poor work-life balance drives people to quit. That’s why Verint are proud to reveal our new TimeFlex Bot 🤖 which works with your existing workforce management (WFM) system to empower agents to make in-the-moment changes to their schedules 🗓️ while balancing the needs of your business and customers. This means game-changing flexibility for agents, and working parents in particular – rather than shifts needing to be eight or four hours long, employees can schedule two hours in the morning i.e while their child attends nursery, and another two when they’ve gone to bed 😴 later that evening. CX innovation is all about flexibility ⏰ and futureproofing. Find out more at the blog. #EmployeeExperience #Childcare #Flexiworking #OpenCCaaS #CCaaS #ContactCenter #WFM #WorkforceManagement #Verint
Could Hyper-Flexible Scheduling Fill Your Contact Center Seats?
