Offer on-site child care for your staff
Child care is a major obstacle for individuals whose income is at or below the NPPS, often making employment too difficult to maintain.
Utilize space at your facilities to offer child care, adapting to the schedules of your entire staff. Offer it company-wide so all employees can take advantage of the service.
To get started:
Survey your teams to identify child care needs.
Utilize your development staff to raise funds for on-site programming.
Market your offerings company-wide so all staff are aware.
Offer the programming on a sliding-scale basis so all employees can take advantage of the service.
