Child Care While At Work
Summary: A crucial workplace issue is child care. Parents are concerned about who will take care of their children; employers recognize that this issue affects their bottom line. Studies show that child care issues can lead to
- Increased tardiness and absenteeism
- Higher turnover rates
- Higher recruiting and training costs
Here are a few issues and concerns you may want to discuss with your employer:
- Using personal sick time to care for ill children
- Establishing an in-house day care center
- Employer-assisted child care as a benefit
- Flexible work arrival and departure times to meet family's schedule
- Work-from-home options
Here are a few suggestions employees can explore with their employers:
- Flexible work arrangements
- Telecommuting programs
- Parental leave policies
- Paid time off to care for mildly ill children
- Employer-assisted childcare
- Programs and policies to reduce the stresses of balancing work and family commitments
Something to Think About...
Employees who believe that their employer supports their personal needs tend to be
- Less stressed
- More successful in balancing work and family life
- More loyal to the company
- More committed to their employers
- More satisfied with their jobs
- More likely to want to remain with their employers
