ANCHORAGE, Alaska, May 6, 2016—Prior to Mother's Day, Express Employment Professionals, one of the most prominent employment agencies in Anchorage, AK released outcomes from a special edition survey revealing the mindsets of working moms.

The survey of 1,059 working moms and dads was conducted in May 2016. Participants were asked, “Would you work if you didn’t have to?” Sixty-two percent of working mothers stated "yes," compared to 69 percent of working fathers who said the same.

In addition, Express released results from a survey of companies on the treatment of moms and dads in the workplace. Respondents were asked, “Do you provide maternity leave for the birth or adoption of a child?” Three-quarters (75 percent) of the businesses stated, "yes."

When it pertains to paternity leave, however, the story is a little different. Barely under half of the surveyed businesses (49 percent) provide paternity leave.

Numerous companies do offer other benefits too, according to the study. Two-thirds (67 percent) said they allow working moms and dads to take advantage of flexible hours, while 26 percent said they offer other forms of benefits, and 7 percent reported enabling working moms and dads to telecommute.

“As a working Mom I appreciate having a company to back me in ensuring that I have a well-balanced work life schedule,” said Martie Morgan, territory sales manager of the Anchorage Express office. “I am motivated to perform more when I know that my company understands what it means to be an active parent.”

“On behalf of everyone here at Express Anchorage, I’d like to wish a Happy Mother’s Day to all moms!” added Kelly Rosso, operations manager of Express Anchorage.

The survey of 390 businesses, which are current and former clients of Express Employment Professionals, was conducted in April 2016.
