In our special mini series Chasing Change, host Samantha Saxby unveils what change looks like from the inside. She interviews women who have instigated meaningful change in their workplaces to get the support they and others needed.
In this episode of Chasing Change, Samantha speaks with Loryn Duke, Communications Director at Steamboat Ski Resort in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Loryn and her colleagues developed and opened the resort’s first-ever employer-based childcare center in 2022, resulting in a 425% return on investment. The opening of Steamboat Child Care Center has had a hugely positive impact not only on fellow resort employees, but the community at large.
In their moving conversation, Loryn and host Samantha Saxby discuss:
Finding your advocates in your organization
ROI of employer-based childcare
Impacts on employee recruitment and retention
Effective data collection and employee surveys
The future of Steamboat Child Care Center
