Employers Boosting Employee Engagement

What is happening? A new report says that employees are 2x more likely to say employers genuinely care about employees if the organization responded to Roe v. Wade’s overturning. 55% of employees want more clarity on their organizations abortion care policies. ResumeBuilder data shows that abortion access is increasingly part of job searches.

Why is this important? A former general counsel at the EEOC is reportedly sending letters ” to multiple employers encouraging them not to adopt travel benefits for employees seeking an abortion and cautioning them that doing so violates federal anti-discrimination laws.” The EEOC says “She lacks the authority to speak on behalf of the EEOC.”
