You might be working two full-time jobs without even realizing it. 😵 Remote work has enabled more caregivers across the nation to advance their careers with the hope of achieving a better work-life balance. However, this is not always the case. Many caregivers who work remotely have expressed frustration over managing what feels like two full-time jobs. Balancing the demands of performing well at their jobs, handling household chores, and overseeing childcare often leaves caregivers feeling overwhelmed and as though they accomplish very little by the end of the day. This article from The Wall Street Journal highlights interesting points on this topic. Providing childcare benefits to employees can significantly enhance productivity by addressing the challenges highlighted in the article. When organizations offer support such as back-up care and childcare stipends, they alleviate the burden on working parents, allowing them to focus more effectively on their professional responsibilities.

Did you know: During WWII the U.S. funded the nation's first (and only) universal child care program in American history? We needed women in the workforce so we designed the workforce for families. But the men came back from war, and we went back to the way things were before — broken. And not much has changed since. At #AspenIdeasFestival, Moms First's Founder and CEO, Reshma Saujani, shared this little history lesson alongside Grace Bastidas, Jenna Bush Hager, and Aliza Pressman, Ph.D., discussing some of the most pressing issues on the minds of parents today. We're relentless in our fight to win affordable child care, paid leave, and equal pay because we know we can make it a reality — because we’ve done it before. We're driven by our belief that when moms come together and fight for ourselves, we can once and for all revolutionize our society, workplaces, and policies to *finally* work for moms.

"Your voice matters" 👏 It is crucial to keep in mind why we're so passionate about affordable childcare options for employees. These days, nobody should have to choose between their job and their family. Offering childcare benefits isn't just a nice perk anymore—it's something we absolutely need to do and we will keep working towards beating the childcare crisis one family at a time.
We did it! Tonight, after nearly 15,000 moms and allies called on CNN to ask the presidential candidates about the child care crisis — they asked the question! Moments ago, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash brought child care to the national stage, acknowledging the astronomical cost of child care for families and asking the candidates how they plan to fix the broken child care system if they are elected. And...the candidates failed to give us any substantive answers and used the time to bicker. Clearly, we have our work cut out for us. While we are disappointed that our presidential candidates failed to acknowledge the seriousness of our child care crisis — tonight, let’s take a moment to celebrate the power and influence of moms. Because your voice matters and this is just the beginning. This is what happens when moms get loud and fight for ourselves — we get results.

A recent poll by INBOUND revealed that the vast majority of respondents (48%) ranked 'work-life balance' as the most crucial factor in job satisfaction. At Upwards, we understand that one of the biggest imbalances in achieving work-life balance is the challenge of securing reliable, affordable childcare. Childcare needs and crises can create significant stress and disrupt an employee's ability to perform at their best. When these needs aren’t met, employees are at major risk of: -Leaving their jobs 🏃♀️ -Missing work 🚫 -Showing up late ⏰ -Struggling to meet performance and productivity goals 📉 If you're committed to improving work-life balance for your employees, it's time to consider how childcare support can play a pivotal role. Let's create workplaces where everyone can thrive! 🌟 #WorkLifeBalance #Childcare #EmployeeSupport #Productivity #JobSatisfaction #Upwards
