How To Evolve Benefit Programs to Support Working Parents

By Joanne Kaldy / November 15, 2022

Working parents want and need support to help them balance work and family. If you want to attract and keep working moms and dads, consider the following:

  • Offer one-off work from home dates when possible.
  • Let eligible employees work remotely a set number of days each week or month.
  • Let employees set their own schedules in an organized way.
  • Set a 10-hour period during which workers must complete their 8 hours of work.
  • Designate a few hours during the day as mandatory for all workers to be onsite.
  • Provide a child care service or app to enable workers to find child care when they need it.
  • Add on cash subsidies to offset the cost of child care.
  • Offer family benefits such as elder care or pet care.
