Corporate child care helps recruit and retain workers

Article Abstract:

An increasing percentage of women in the workforce and the changing attitudes of workers toward the importance of the family are among the factors that have encouraged employers to move beyond considering whether or not they should support day-care benefits to when they should support them. Examining the child-care needs of employees, and determining which benefits are suitable for them and the company should be routine for the human resources manager in the 1990s. The key considerations affecting how a company responds to the issue of child care include being aware new government legislation will increase the costs of providing childcare, and being aware that providing childcare enhances a company's ability to recruit and retain quality employees.
