Episode 386: Universal Child Care Has Arrived! What Impact Could It Have On Reversing COVID-era Workforce Losses

Robby Starbuck - yes the very same Robby Starbuck that goes after corporate DEI programs -  is on the agenda this week at the Society of Human Resource Management’s big pow wow in Louisville and numerous corporate HR execs are boycotting the meeting all together. Is this an acquiescing to the MAGA universe or an opportunity for HR professionals to get it all out in the open. We’ll discuss. And this week, New Mexico will become the first state in the country to offer free universal child care. Will this impact the ability for new parents, particularly women to either stay or re-enter the workforce and reverse significant COVID-era losses? We’ll take a look. We’ll talk about those issues and wrap it up with the legislative scorecard.
