Balancing work and childcare during the summer holidays can be challenging, a six-week break and limited leave options, it can feel overwhelming. Some parents save all their annual leave to use throughout the summer, while others rely on a network of friends and family for support. What many parents may not know is that they are entitled to parental leave from their job. Each parent can take up to 18 weeks of parental leave for each child until the child turns 18, with a maximum of 4 weeks of leave per year for each child. We’re here to help you navigate your career and work-life balance, ensuring you make the most of your time with your children this summer. #WorkingParents #SummerHolidays #WorkLifeBalance #ParentalRights

In honor of working mothers on this International Women's Day, the cost of childcare in America is at an all-time high, and it's only getting worse. A recent study found that the average cost of childcare for a toddler is now over $1,000 per month. This makes it difficult for many families to afford to have both parents work. Employers can play a role in helping to solve this problem. By providing childcare resources to their employees, they can make it easier for them to balance work and family life. This can lead to increased employee productivity, engagement, and retention. If you're an employer, I encourage you to consider providing childcare resources to your employees. It's a great way to show your employees that you care about their well-being, and it can make a real difference in their lives. #Childcare #AffordableChildcare #EmployerResources #WorkLifeBalance

Flexible work options, paid leave benefits, and subsidized child care can set employers apart. Politicians often debate family leave laws without much change. Employers, however, can make an immediate impact by offering these benefits. As the founder of Rose Talent Consulting LLC, I've seen how much these perks mean to job seekers, especially women, who are more affected by childcare issues than men.
