“The Employee Child Care Assistance Program is fairly revolutionary, and I’m proud that I live in a state that has taken leadership in this area. We feel like we have a top-tier workforce at Planters Bank, and this is a small way that we can help them financially, but also prove to them how much we appreciate and value what they do for us.”
— Kelley Workman, President, Planters Bank
“ECCAP gives us a practical way to invest in our employees and their families while strengthening our recruitment and retention efforts. As a working mother who has personally benefited from the program, I know firsthand the financial relief and peace of mind it can provide. It’s a meaningful benefit that can make a real difference for Kentucky employers and working families.”
— Katrina Dietrich, Director of Human Resources, Wehr Constructors
