As companies compete for the best talent, there is a growing emphasis on work-life balance—for good reason. Stress can have a profound impact on a person's physical and emotional well-being. It's safe to say that parents face some of the most significant challenges to work-life balance—from having a sick child to school functions to just the daily tasks of managing a household. A working parent has a full plate before ever starting their 40-hour workweek.
A workplace that supports parents and families is beneficial to everyone. Employees at companies with family-friendly policies such as flexible working hours, parental leave, childcare support and eldercare assistance are less likely to feel overwhelmed with family responsibilities. Their employers benefit from stronger worker loyalty, improved talent retention and increased productivity.

Congratulations to these employers and the families they support.
