“Working parents will prioritize flexibility over a base salary.”
Rohshann Pilla President, Aquent Talent
An article published by HR Brew examines how the return-to-office (RTO) shift is increasing child care demands, with many employees expecting greater support from employers. Companies like J.P. Morgan and Amazon have mandated full-time office returns but have not specified whether child care benefits will expand, leaving many working parents scrambling to find care. Rohshann Pilla, President of Aquent Talent, was interviewed for the piece and points out that the cooling labor market has given employers more leverage to enforce strict RTO policies. However, Pilla also notes that companies offering flexibility will have a significant advantage in attracting and retaining talent, as many working parents now prioritize flexibility over salary.
