In this episode, JoDee and Susan discuss the childcare crisis and its impact on recruiting, engagement, and parents in the workplace with Purple Ink Senior Talent Advisor Anna Rasco.

Topics include:

• The statistics on childcare challenges


• How the childcare crisis has affected Anna's life


• The recent expiration of emergency childcare funding, the major decline in childcare options, and how they affect working parents


• How employers can develop policies, requirements, and programs to be parent-friendly


• Managers' role in making the workforce more inviting to parents


• What companies can do to ensure they're able to recruit mothers into their workforce


• What we can do to help mothers re-enter the workforce well

In this episode's listener question, we're asked how we can do better at making HR a career choice instead of a career accident. In the news, over half of job seekers have been ghosted by employers, and one in three said it was the top concern in their job search.
