What kind of a company joins Corporate HANDS? The kind that every company wants to be.

Companies across the U.S. have seen the benefits of supporting employees in their personal lives and helping them balance demanding work/life issues.

Consider the economic costs. Studies show that

• 65% of working mothers have children under age 6.
  
• 85% of employers say that providing child care services improved employee recruitment.
  
• Child care breakdowns leading to employee absences cost businesses $3 billion per year.
  
• 24% of companies say productivity is lost while replacing employees who quit due to caregiver duties.
  
• 64% of caregivers for the elderly are employed.
  
• 22.4 million U.S. households are involved in caregiving for an older relative.
  
• Elder care-related costs to U.S. businesses are approximately $29 billion a year.

Now, consider the value:

“My family is my top priority. I have to work for a company that understands.”

“When I see the new equipment at my son’s school, I’m proud that my company has chosen to help the community.”

“The most helpful thing is having someone to talk to about the problems I’m facing in providing care for my mother.”

“The work/life benefits here are something I don’t take for granted. Other companies don’t necessarily help with dependent care.”
