Childcare And Supporting Single Parents

In today's episode:

• Rising childcare costs have a huge impact on single parents in the workforce (80% of whom are women). They're forced to be less flexible in the workplace in order to support family needs, which means a tougher time climbing the corporate ladder.
• Diverse populations create higher levels of performance. We should be subsidizing childcare to retain the highest level of talent.
• Managers looking to support their single-parent employees should have an honest conversation with HR leadership. Companies often have money in the budget to offer some support, but it requires a strong ask.
