Best Buy has added a key benefit sure to appeal to working parents.
The consumer electronics retailer has contracted with Care@Work to provide full- and part-time employees 10 days of subsidized backup child care per year, reported the Star Tribune. The employee copay is $10.
Best Buy is not the only retailer to partner with Care@Work. In October, Starbucks announced it had entered into an arrangement with the firm to offer its 180,000 U.S. associates working at company-owned stores 10 subsidized backup care days a year for kids and adults.
