Economic Alliance Snohomish County  and Snohomish STEM Network are presenting a virtual event, “Coffee Chat – From Barriers to Benefits: Aligning Childcare Policies with Workforce Needs,” on Tuesday, Aug. 13.
The virtual event will review the results of an ongoing survey being conducted among regional businesses, which highlights how the insufficiency of child care is impacting hiring and retention. A panel of experts will be available to answer questions.
“Implementing family-friendly workplace policies supports retention and hiring,” said Wendy Poischbeg, interim president and CEO of Economic Alliance Snohomish County. “Providing employers with this supporting data can increase Snohomish County’s competitiveness across industries.”
The free event will take place from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. via Zoom. RSVP here to receive the Zoom livestream link. For more information, visit EconomicAllianceSC.org or email info@EconomicAllianceSC.org.
