ALG: SBOs Need to Know - Workplace Policies and Trends That Are Here to Stay

NEED TO KNOW: Workplace Trends and Policies That Are Here to Stay!

Description:

Workplaces are changing—especially when it comes to policies that support parents and caregivers. In today’s tight labor market, businesses that meet the needs of employees caring for children or elders gain a powerful competitive advantage. With more parents and caregivers interrupting their education, switching jobs, or leaving the workforce altogether, family-friendly benefits are no longer optional—they’re essential.

From paid family medical leave and flexible work options to accommodations for pregnant and breastfeeding employees, these policies can bring talented caregivers back into the workforce while strengthening recruitment and retention efforts.

In this session, the Family Forward NC® team will share research, resources, and practical tools you can use to incorporate family-friendly workplace practices that: Improve recruitment and retention, Boost productivity and employee engagement, Support children’s healthy development, and Help North Carolina businesses, especially small ones remain competitive.

This program matters to small business owners because workplace policies that support parents and caregivers directly impact the bottom line. In a competitive labor market, offering benefits like flexible schedules, family leave, and caregiver support helps small businesses like you:

Attract and retain talent who might otherwise leave the workforce.

Reduce turnover costs and improve employee loyalty.

Boost productivity and morale by supporting employees’ real-life responsibilities.

Stay compliant with new workplace regulations.

Differentiate yourself from competitors by being seen as an employer of choice.
