Child Care for Businesses
Building a Family-Friendly Workplace
The Business Case for Supporting Child Care
Quality child care benefits all workforce industries by enabling parents to work productively outside of the home and attend higher education programs. Employers can support families with children by incorporating certain policies within the workplace.
Alternative Work Schedules
Having an alternate work schedule allows employees to adjust their work time to balance child care needs and the needs of the business. Some benefits of this includes:
- Lower absenteeism rates
- Improves morale and reduces stress
- Enhances recruitment
- Extend business hours
- Economical use of office space and equipment by staggering staff
Flexible Policies
Other business practices may help staff and the company as well. Policies such as job sharing, teleworking, part-time and compressed work weeks are all practices many businesses enjoy implementing to encourage a productive and healthy work environment.
