The challenge for the business community is clear – working families are the heart of our nation’s economic prosperity and competitiveness. Our partner companies are committed to working with policy makers to enhance the quality of work and life for all employees while increasing the profitability of American business and strengthening our nation’s economic prosperity. Our work in this area includes outreach to the White House, Congress, civil society, and the business community to engage their support in work/life policy advances.
Work/Life Policy Efforts
Corporate Voices is leading the business community in this important dialogue. Our focus remains on ensuring that working families have the skills and supports necessary to successfully navigate the 21st century workplace. We welcome the opportunity to participate with congressional leaders and their staff to secure common-ground solutions and develop bipartisan recommendations that work for both employers and the employees.
Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts
With the support of the American Business Coalition, Corporate Voices has been working with key members of both House and Senate to increase the contribution limit on Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (DCFSA) to $7,500. The limit on DCFSAs has remained at $5,000 since 1986.
