About the Report:

Benefits and culture that support moms, dads, and other caregiving employees are more than just a “nice thing to do.” They’re a business imperative. In new original research, Vivvi and Lauren Smith Brody of The Fifth Trimester offer five key insights that show that parenthood motivates workers to be productive profit-drivers for their employers, and that workplace support for parents pays off.

Workplace support for parenthood drives profits.

When businesses support parents' caregiving needs, they get back their most productive and profitable work ever.
