CenturyLink Helps Employees Care for Families, Selves Through Care.com BenefitsMore than 70 percent of working Americans** are caring for children, parents or senior family members - and those responsibilities can become even more stressful when it impacts their work. CenturyLink, Inc. (NYSE: CTL) is helping alleviate some of that stress for its full-time U.S. employees by partnering with Care.com (NYSE: CRCM), the world's leading online marketplace for finding and managing family care, to provide Care@Work benefits. "No one should have to choose between caring for family and their job," said Scott Trezise, CenturyLink's (News - Alert) executive vice president of Human Resources. "At CenturyLink, we've introduced a variety of family-focused benefits to help our employees better balance their work and home lives and to give them peace of mind. More and more, family care needs are extending beyond children. One of the best things about Care@Work is the array of quality care solutions they offer, regardless of who the employees are caring for. We are very proud that adding Care.com to our roster of employee benefits originated through our CenturyLink Women in Technology program and was championed by our executive Diversity and Inclusion Steering Committee." The benefits include subsidized backup care for children and adults; premium membership to Care.com for ongoing care needs for children, seniors, pets, and the home; and personalized senior care support and guidance from Care@Work's team of Masters-level social workers and experts. "We're thrilled to welcome CenturyLink to Care.com's roster of forward-thinking employer clients and we applaud their commitment to supporting every type of caregiver on their team," said Scott Healy, Care@Work's executive vice president and general manager. "By supporting the care needs of their diverse workforce - from Gen Z to Baby Boomers - CenturyLink is leading with care and helping redefine what it means to be an inclusive, best-in-class employer."

About Care.com
**"Employers do not measure and thus do not realize the extent to which employees are burdened by care: Many employers (52%) do not track data on their employees' caregiving responsibilities. Few employers, therefore, know the significant impact that caregiving has on the productivity of employees. In an employee survey conducted by Harvard Business School, three out of four (73%) employees reported having some type of current caregiving responsibility."
