Reducing employee absenteeism

Absenteeism isn't always due to illness. Many working parents find themselves unable to work because their usual childcare arrangements break down, for example, the nanny fails to turn up or because a school has closed for the day. Research shows that care breakdowns happen on average 9 times a year. There is a solution!

Childcare related employee absenteeism

We hear all too regularly from employers about the problem of childcare related absenteeism, especially during the school holidays. Whilst sometimes a family member or friend can help, there are still times where an employee has no option but to stay at home.

The unplanned costs caused by absenteeism could be avoided by using simple Backup Care solutions. Emergency Childcare and School Holiday Cover are solutions being used by both large and small organisations. A backup nanny, nursery or childminder can be arranged with as little as 30 minutes' notice. Currently over 350,000 working parents have access to these services.
