Our comprehensive strategy to tackle childcare barriers.
To strategically invest in childcare benefits, consider the top three issues your employees may face: access, financial and workplace barriers.
Increase childcare supply and access
By building on-site care, providing tools that connect employees to existing childcare programs, or investing in local childcare programs to increase supply.
Make childcare options more affordable
By providing financial assistance for childcare costs via direct funding or paying for services that match employees with childcare subsidies.
Create a parent-friendly company culture
By providing a working environment that supports parents via comprehensive benefits and policies like back up care, parental leave, and flexible scheduling.
Our comprehensive strategy in action
Our recommended solutions are formulated to address at least two of the three key barriers that employees face, leading to more impactful results for both the employer and the employee.
