McDonald s franchises across the U.S. are expected to offer backup child care and other new benefits to help keep current employees and attract new ones.
In addition to emergency child care, the company is aiming to boost hourly pay, give workers paid time off and help cover tuition costs, the Wall Street Journal first reported.
The move not only helps restaurant employees, but helps the company attract and retain talent, a company spokesperson told CBS News in an email.
Many restaurants are having difficulty finding workers.
The swift U.S. economic recovery from the pandemic, fueled by the availability of COVID-19 vaccines, is at least temporarily empowering people in the notoriously low-paying leisure and hospitality industry to demand higher wages and better working conditions.
