Creating a supportive workplace for parents and carers is not just a compassionate move—it’s a strategic business decision. New research by Deloitte and Place2Be showed that parents’ concern about their children’s mental health is costing UK employers £8bn annually due to parents and carers taking time off work to care for their children, the impact on their performance, or leaving their roles. However, only 26% of parents feel the support provided by their employer is adequate for themselves and their children.
