Why This Matters
The pressures of parenting don’t end when the workday begins.
Many employees are quietly dealing with the stress of helping a child navigate risky behaviors, mental health challenges, or substance use. Without support, these challenges impact their ability to be fully present at work — leading to increased absenteeism, lower productivity, and higher healthcare costs.
- 81% of employees say family responsibilities impact their work performance.
- $225 billion is the annual cost of substance use to U.S. employers in lost productivity, absenteeism, and healthcare.
