(NYSE: KLC) (\u201cKinderCare\u201d), the nation\u2019s leading provider of high-quality early childhood education by center capacity, reveals that employer-sponsored child care benefits are a strategic necessity for Fortune 500 companies in the competition for top talent. The <i>2025 KinderCare CHRO Perspectives Survey<\/i>, conducted by The Harris Poll, highlights human resources leaders\u2019 recognition of the critical role child care benefits play in talent acquisition, retention, and employee well-being, while underscoring the urgent need for more flexible and customizable options.<\/p>\n<p>\nSurvey respondents overwhelmingly agreed on the significant value of child care benefits, with key findings including:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\n85% believe child care benefits reduce employee turnover<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n86% say these benefits help attract talent to their organizations<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n82% report that child care support enables employees to excel professionally<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n83% agree that child care benefits improve employee mental health<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n\u201cNow more than ever working parents need flexibility and choice when it comes to child care,\u201d said Jessica Harrah,<b \/>KinderCare\u2019s Chief People Officer. \u201cAs hybrid work models and return-to-office mandates continue to reshape workplaces, our data shows that employers also recognize the critical need for flexible child care benefits as 84% of HR leaders have experienced or anticipate experiencing increased demand for child care solutions from employees, and 82% identify child care benefits as a critical component of their return-to-office strategies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Barriers to Adoption and Opportunities for Growth<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nWhile eight in ten (81%) HR leaders agree that providing child care benefits increases employee productivity, they often face challenges in expanding these resources. Most (78%) report difficulty convincing the C-Suite of the long-term return on investment, largely due to a lack of clarity about employee needs and budget constraints. Additionally, HR leaders report a lack of employee awareness of current child care benefits even as 99% of Fortune 500 companies already offer some form of child care benefit.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe survey also revealed a disconnect between leadership priorities and employee expectations. While HR leaders rank child care benefits seventh in importance for competitive advantage, employees rank them third, according to KinderCare\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kc-learning.com%2F-%2Fmedia%2Fcorporate%2Fdocs%2Fkindercare-parent-confidence-survey-2024-web-version.pdf%3Futm_campaign%3Dklc%26utm_source%3Dpr%26utm_medium%3Dpdf%26utm_content%3Dchro&amp;esheet=54179299&amp;newsitemid=20250115469640&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=2024+Parent+Confidence+Index&amp;index=2&amp;md5=5750483814b3c28720cd59baa2004e98\">2024 Parent Confidence Index<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cAccessible and affordable child care remains a necessity for working families,\u201d said Dan Figurski, President of KinderCare for Employers and Champions. \u201cThe solution for employers doesn\u2019t have to be complicated. At KinderCare, we work with more than 700 organizations of all sizes across the country to support their employees with child care benefits. We work with each employer to find a flexible solution that addresses the unique needs of their employees and works within their budget, whether that\u2019s through subsidized tuition, priority enrollment at community centers, or even an on-site center at the employer\u2019s location. With our national network of community-based early childhood education centers and our before- and after-school programs, we\u2019re uniquely positioned to support organizations of all sizes as employers work to offer their employees the child care benefit that best suits their needs. And we\u2019ve seen firsthand the impact that child care has on employees: they are generally happier, more engaged and more likely to stay with their employer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>A Vision for the Future<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nLooking ahead, 89% of HR leaders plan to expand their child care offerings in the next five years, signaling a shift toward more inclusive, customizable benefits.
