Thank you, Catrina, for outlining your thoughts on family-friendly benefits and employment discrimination clearly and succinctly. I agree with you that there is a need for employers to have a better understanding of how to manage diversity within their organizations in order to create a more inclusive and equitable workplace.

This category includes employees who have elderly parents that they care for and employees who have sick family members. These benefits should be available to all employees with a family, regardless of whether or not they have children. The Bible speaks to this issue in James 1:27. This verse reminds us that we are to care for those who are widows and…
