👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 The Family–Workforce Connection
Childcare, Programs & Solutions That Support Working Families

When families struggle to find reliable care, the impact doesn’t stop at home—it shows up in the workplace.

Join us for an important Breakfast Connect conversation exploring how the needs of working families directly connect to a strong, reliable, and thriving workforce.

From childcare for young children to before- and after-school programs, summer care, and other family needs, employees are balancing responsibilities that can impact their ability to show up, stay employed, and succeed at work.

💼 Why should businesses care?

We'll explore how family and caregiving challenges can impact:
• 📈 Employee recruitment & retention
• ⏰ Attendance & reliability
• 🤝 Workforce participation & stability
• 💰 Businesses and our local economy
• 👨‍👩‍👧 Working families at every stage

💡 Let's Talk Solutions

This conversation won't just focus on the challenges. We'll hear from local experts, employers, providers, and community partners about what's working and what businesses can realistically do to help.

Attendees will learn about:
• ✅ Simple workplace policies that can make a difference
• 🔗 Local programs & resources available to working families
• 🏢 Employer benefits & creative approaches to family support
• 🤝 Partnerships between businesses & community providers
• 📣 Ways employers & community leaders can be part of the solution

🎤 Plus: Hear From a Local Panel

Hear different perspectives from those experiencing these challenges firsthand, those providing care and support, and employers working to find solutions.

Whether you're an employer, HR professional, employee, community leader, or simply interested in strengthening North Idaho's workforce, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

🌟 When working families have the support they need to succeed, our businesses, workforce, and entire community are stronger.
