Charleston Employers - Child Care Support & Employee Retention

What does it really look like to balance a career and raising kids in Charleston? We asked our CHStoday BizBrief readers, and they had plenty to say. A few numbers that stood out to me: 📊92%of respondents are working parents, but only20%said their employer offers child care benefits. 📊85%said child care has influenced whether theyve applied for or accepted a job. One parent told us child care costs “significantly more than our mortgage.” Others shared how flexible schedules, remote work, and understanding employers have made all the difference. As Charleston continues to grow, I think these conversations are especially important, not just for parents, but for the businesses trying to attract and keep good employees. A big thank-you to everyone who took the time to share their experiences! I'd love to hear from local employers, too: What has your business found works best for supporting employees with young children? 🔗 Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/ez9RBGWw
