| Why Your Employees Will Thank You |
 |
|
Helping employees effectively manage their personal responsibilities impacts work performance tremendously. The ultimate benefit to your
organization is the positive effect our programs can have on your company's bottom line. |
| The following research findings set forth a powerful business case: |
 |
42% of parents report that child care was an important factor in their decision to
join the organization for which they work.[1] |
|
Among parents, 45% miss at least one day of work every six months due to a family care breakdown.
These parents average 4.3 days missed in a six-month timeframe.[2] |
|
65% of parents are late to work or leave work early due to family care issues. This
occurs an average of 7.5 times in a six-monthtimeframe. |
|
91% of survey respondents, including employees without children, feel emergency backup
dependent care will have a positive impact on the organization for which they work.[3] |
|
The Bureau of Labor Statistics also reports: childcare problems do not end once children are in first grade. In some ways, these problems become more difficult
because part-day childcare is needed and it can be harder to arrange than full-day childcare. Using the most generous calculations, only about 64% of a full-time
worker’s standard work schedule is covered by the hours children are typically in school. |
