Ep. 31: The business case for employer-supported childcare, with Nicole Riehl of EPIC (The Manufacturing Employer Podcast Crossover Episode)
Episode 31
Thursday, 23 July, 2026
Our President & CEO Nicole Riehl was recently a guest on The Manufacturing Employer Podcast where she reframed childcare as a critical workforce infrastructure issue, not just an employee perk. She discusses the hidden costs of childcare challenges, and how manufacturers can address absenteeism and turnover linked to them. She shares actionable strategies including flexible scheduling, stipends and community resources, and explains how even incremental changes can yield strong ROI in recruitment, retention and productivity. Thanks to the The Manufacturing Employer Podcast for sharing with us. Please visit their website here. Their podcast can be found here.
