“We know that 75% of the people that work for your business are working parents and need access to ways to navigate childcare. So, your business will improve, if you provide solutions for working parents,” said Stephanie Otero, Vice President of Operations for the El Paso Community Foundation. Watch VIDEO with Stephanie Otero, speaking more about the benefits.

While family-friendly policies have a direct impact on working parents, local and national research proves that there is also a serious business case to being family-friendly:

• 83% of millennials would leave one job for another with stronger family-friendly supports.

• Replacing an employee costs an employer six to nine months of that employee’s salary.

• Over 60% of working parents said child care issues have caused them to miss work.

• Employers lose $13 billion annually due to child care challenges faced by their workforce.
