With the closure of schools and summer camps, and the loss of some childcare and adult care options, we know it’s challenging to balance home and work. We listened to feedback from employees across the company, and they told us that helping them access affordable quality care was a top priority for families during this time.
Effective August 1, 2020, Mauser Packaging Solutions launched the Care@Work benefit, a family care service that is designed to assist our employees in finding caregivers for the whole family, including children and parents/grandparents. This company benefit provides each U.S. and Canadian employee up to 10 days of subsidized emergency backup child or adult care between now and July 31, 2021.
Below is additional information about the new benefit and how to take advantage of it:
