But it'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's Working Parents ERG and the Women's ERG. The article notes that challenges such as economic instability, childcare costs, and burnout\u2014especially among women and parents of children with special needs\u2014highlight 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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How supporting working parents through workplace resources and flexibility fosters well-being, reduces burnout, and enhances
