Being Family-Friendly is Business-Friendly
National research tells us that there is a serious business case to being family-friendly.
In 65% of Texas households, both parents work (4.5 million households statewide).
35% of Texas workers who have or plan to quit their job cite childcare issues as a primary reason.
Replacing an employee costs a business 6-9 months of that employee’s salary.
