NORTH DAKOTA ( KXNET ) — North Dakota employers understand the challenges the workforce faces when it comes to quality and affordable child care.

Thankfully, the North Dakota Employer Toolkit for Supporting Working Parents is now available as an easy guide that’s focused on resources and programs to help support working parents.

The toolkit is provided by the North Dakota Health and Human Services (HHS), and it serves as a one-stop shop for information that can help employers recruit and retain employees, foster a supportive work environment, and position their business as a sought-after employer of choice.

“We hope that this can be a quick and easy resource for our business community,” said Kay Larson, the HHS Early Childhood director. “Complementary to the ongoing efforts of the ND Child Care Initiative, the toolkit is designed to help employers mitigate the impact that child care has on workforce participation by highlighting useful information and resources most relevant to North Dakota employers.”

You can find the toolkit on the Working Parents webpage , and has ready-to-use written and visual materials.
