Part 2: Black Sheep Thinking—A Necessity for Missouri Employers
In business, following the crowd leads to average results at best. If companies are to excel in today’s competitive job market, they need to adopt "Black Sheep" thinking—being unafraid to go against the grain. This applies to offering child care benefits. While many employers might hesitate to invest in such programs, those who do are likely to stand out, attracting a more loyal, dedicated workforce.
Consider index investing as an analogy: going with the market trends can result in average returns, but outperforming the market requires bold, independent strategies. The same is true for employee benefits. By being the company that offers child care support when others are not, you're positioning yourself to outshine competitors and achieve above-average results in talent acquisition and retention.
It’s time for Missouri businesses to stop playing it safe and start thinking innovatively. Offering child care benefits could be that bold step that sets you apart from the crowd.
