Financial technology consulting firm Fourlane stepped up to support working parents during the pandemic. All employees who have been with the company for at least 90 days can receive up to $1,000 per week to cover child care or tutoring for as long as they need it.
Document-processing company Hyperscience looks after its staff by helping them look after their families. The company offers a monthly child care and education stipend of $3,000 per child, up to $6,000, and in 2020 began reimbursing elder care up to $72,000 per year for employees dependents.
When employees at advertising startup TripleLift hit their five-year work anniversary, the company helps them celebrate with a $5,000 stipend and a one-month paid sabbatical. That s a lot better than a cursory shout-out during an all-staff Zoom meeting.
