Do Your Employee's Child Care Problems Cost Your Business Money?
Several studies conducted over the past decade have found that employees can be more productive at work when they are sure that their children are being cared for in a safe, secure child care or school program.  When parents are focused at work, the results are reduced turnover, less absenteeism and tardiness, and a boost to commitment and morale.

The costs of lost productivity are staggering.  Nationwide, absenteeism from working parents costs employers about $3 million a year in lost productivity.  Since the end of the pandemic, issues related to child care are found to be one of the top three reasons parents are unable to return to work.  This also impacts a parents ability to take a job at all.   The lost productivity may take the form of tardiness and absenteeism when child care arrangements fall through, or even resignations when no child care can be found to replace previous arrangements.

The Child Care Resource Center (CCRC), a resource and referral agency in North Central Ohio can help you:

• develop family-friendly policies and benefits for your employees, 
• provide information and support to your employees, 
• conduct needs assessments and produce reports for decision-making and more.  

Information in this section will provide you a detailed resource that employers can use to build a reliable and committed work force.

As you consider turning the tide on lost productivity for your business and recruit and retain new employees, please feel free to contact the CCRC for an individualized program.  We look forward to hearing from you on your needs.
