CAKES Sets New Standard: 100% Childcare Coverage for Employees

Los Angeles-based company CAKES is making headlines with its innovative approach to employee benefits. On May 1st, 2025, they launched the CAKES Childcare Credit, a program that covers 100% of childcare costs for employees with children under public school age. This initiative directly addresses the significant financial burden of childcare, a challenge disproportionately affecting women and often forcing them out of the workforce. "Childcare costs shouldn’t cost you your career," states the video's speaker, highlighting the company's commitment to creating a more supportive work environment. This bold step by CAKES is not only beneficial for its employees but also sets a powerful example for other companies to follow, potentially sparking a positive trend in workplace policies and benefits.
