• Employers juggle multiple challenges, including recruiting and retaining a well-trained, high-quality workforce. During COVID-19, employers are also faced with how and when to reopen workplaces to keep employees safe and be responsive to their needs. As the stay at home orders are lifted, employees may need child care supports and workplace flexibility. You can find some suggested family-friendly practices on www.ShastaReady.org.

• As stay-at-home orders are lifted for additional industries to promote California’s economic recovery, the need for child care and other supports for working families increases.
