Which of the following best explains why an employer would care about the health needs of local children?

a. The children are the employer's future workforce.
b. The employer needs positive media coverage and no scandals.
c. The community will provide greater support to employers that have family-based policies.
d. Staying home to take care of sick children will impact the productivity of the workplace.


ANS: A
Business and industry have an enormous stake in the health of the nation's children. A strong, productive workforce is ensured only when the health, social, and educational needs of the next generation of workers are met. Furthermore, health risks cost employers in lost productivity and increased health care costs. Avoiding scandal and negative media coverage would not be a reason why employers would care about the health needs of the local children. The community does not provide greater support to businesses that have family-based policies. Although, businesses want to keep their employees at work instead of at home taking care of ill children, businesses are concerned with more than just the children of their employees. All children in the local community are a concern for employers as these are the future workforce.
