But it&rsquo;s alarming that nearly half of working parents report overwhelming stress levels, according to a Surgeon General advisory. This issue is the focus of an article in HR Daily Advisor by Maggie Moreno Keeton, a Regional Direct Hire Manager at Aquent and co-leader of the company&rsquo;s Working Parents ERG and the Women's ERG. The article notes that challenges such as economic instability, childcare costs, and burnout&mdash;especially among women and parents of children with special needs&mdash;highlight the need for workplace support. Solutions like flexible work hours, remote work options, childcare benefits, and parent-focused Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) can help alleviate some pressures, resulting in healthier, more focused employees.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How supporting working parents through workplace resources and flexibility fosters well-being, reduces burnout, and
