Austin, TX – Workforce Solutions Capital Area, the local workforce development board for Travis County, is excited to announce its recognition as one of the Best Places for Working Parents in Austin by Early Matters Greater Austin.
The 2021 Best Place for Working Parents™ designation recognizes businesses committed to supporting working parents through their family-friendly policies and practices. Recognized companies are scored on benefits offered to the organizations’ employees through a self-assessment, including healthcare for employees, healthcare for employee dependents, paid vacation and paid sick leave, maternity and paternity leave, positive family-friendly culture, flexible work hours, and remote work and work-from-home options.
