Backup Care as an Employee Benefit
Annie’s Nannies Household Staffing offers in-home
backup care as an employee benefit. Once a company registers
as a corporate client with Annie’s Nannies Household
Staffing, employees receive in-home backup childcare
at subsidized rates.
A Cost Eeffective Benefit
The costs associated with absenteeism and on-the-job
distraction due to family care breakdowns can be enormous
and have direct impact on levels of productivity and
efficiency of operations. Offering backup care as a
company benefit will help your employees balance work
and family demands by providing a quality solution to
their unexpected gaps in childcare coverage. As a result
of implementing this value added benefit, your company
will successfully position itself to improve staff recruitment
and retention, build employee loyalty and satisfaction
and improve productivity.
Backup childcare meets a variety of business objectives
through its flexible design. Besides emergency or pre-planned
needs, backup childcare is used by managers as a tool
to assist in business travel, employee relocation, employee
recruitment, maternity/paternity leave and other special
situations.
In employee surveys, the lack of backup childcare is
ranked 1st or 2nd as the most disruptive force and stress
producing problem among working parents.
Return on Investment
Research shows that working parents lose an average
of eight working days each year due to gaps in childcare
coverage. A company with just 100 working parents loses
over $250,000.00 per hear in absenteeism costs. Larger
companies lose millions. Add to this the cost of temps,
the stress placed on fellow employees and the decreased
productivity and the numbers multiply. Our experience
shows that employers who offer and promote in-home backup
care realized a 2:1 return on investment the very first
year. That means for every dollar the company spends
on benefit, it receives $2.00 in return.
Compared to the cost of building an on-premises day
care center or reserving backup care slots in existing
centers, the in-home option is a low-cost, more personalized,
flexible, and responsive alternative. It makes it much
easier for parents to go to work and leave their child
in the care of a loving and caring nanny.
