May is National Small Business Month, a time to celebrate the entrepreneurs and employers who power North Carolina’s economy and strengthen our communities.
At Family Forward NC®, we know that small businesses are not only economic drivers but also essential to the well-being of working families. That’s why we’re proud to introduce a powerful new resource designed with employers in mind: the Family Forward NC® Paid Family Leave ROI Calculator.
Part of our Small Business Toolkit, this Excel-based tool helps you estimate the financial return of offering paid family leave – so you can make informed decisions that support both your workforce and your bottom line.
Here’s how it works:
- Enter your organization’s data
- Review built-in assumptions and industry benchmarks
- Instantly see estimated costs, savings, and overall return
- Generate a clear, printable summary to share with leadership
Whether you’re a small business owner, nonprofit leader, or HR decision-maker, the ROI Calculator gives you a practical way to understand how family-friendly policies can drive recruitment, retention, and productivity.
And it’s just one piece of the Family Forward NC® Small Business Toolkit—a growing collection of step-by-step resources, real-world insights, and peer connections designed to help employers build stronger, more competitive workplaces.
