Lack of childcare benefits driving working parents out of work

Another 81% said they wished their employer understood that reliable childcare is key to their productivity.  

However, only one in three employers offer childcare benefits, according to the respondents.  

Dan Figurski, President of KinderCare for Employers and Champions, said the findings present an opportunity for employers.  

According to the report, receiving childcare support would make 79% of parents more loyal to an organisation.  

“When companies make childcare easier to access and understand, parents can stay focused on their careers – and businesses see the pay-off in productivity, loyalty, and long-term performance,” Figurski said in a statement.
