STEM industries thrive on groundbreaking discoveries, but the passionate employees driving these advances — and the companies employing them — face a significant hurdle when it comes to essential family care. More than a third of the workforce includes working parents with young children, and up to 20% are caregivers to adults.

• What is at stake when companies focus on hiring instead of retention
• How flexible on-site child care helps attract and keep top STEM talent 
• The ways supportive and inclusive environments benefit teams and the industry, based on real company results
