Back to School Spotlight

Back to School, Back to Stress

Back-to-school season brings an array of challenges for working parents who juggle job duties and the responsibility of having a family. Seventy-three percent of working parents stress as back-to-school interferes with work, according to a survey. As the academic year starts, there are many benefits that employers can consider offering employees who struggle with work/life balance. For parents, consider sending kids care packages or offering a stipend to help with childcare and other expenses for non-parents. Other ideas that won't hurt the company budget include "Wellbeing Wednesday", where employees can power off an hour early and spend time with their significant others, offering flexible work arrangements, and keeping meetings at 30 minutes or less, getting straight to the point. Gotcha Covered HR can assist with business strategies to support your workplace to obtain greater overall performance and bottom-line results.
