Reduce mistakes due to distractions, inharmonious interactions
with fellow employees and customers.
Empowered employees are productive employees.
Consider the amount of company insurance funds saved if employees
are doing a good job parenting - reduces need for psychological
counselling (parent and kids) and consequent cost to employee.
Major cause of divorce is around kids and money. This can help
with both issues.

wisely; conserve them!

and more productive lives, a more harmonious home life that "spreads
into the workplace.
