Workers at this professional services firm need to be available to their clients around the clock, and corporate policies address that. Breastfeeding moms may rely on lactation rooms at most sites, but when they go on business trips, the firm will ship their breast milk home. Child care costs that are incurred when employees travel or work overtime and on weekends are covered with a $400 annual subsidy. If needed, parents may tap 12 days of backup child care per year, using a national network of facilities that charge $22 per visit, or relying on in-home care from providers for just $8 per hour. New on-site parenting seminars include “Helping Your Child Get Active” and “The Importance of Family Meetings.” A handbook from the firm’s Caregivers Network details the policies and initiatives that can help those who are caring for adult relatives.
