Statewide survey results suggest there are a number of supportive policies employers could enact to recruit, support, and retain working parents in Utah’s competitive labor market. While most are satisfied with their current work and childcare arrangement, many parents and guardians also think policies such as increased wage/salary, paid family leave, flexible/stable hours and schedule, remote/hybrid work options, better part-time job opportunities and childcare assistance are important to achieving their ideal situation. Many would work more if supportive policies were offered, and a majority would change their job, employer or industry for more flexible/predictable hours. The preferences of different types of households vary, and employers have a number of policies they could tailor to support families in finding their ideal work/life balance. (author abstract)
