Introduction
With more than 700,000 babies being born each year, and record numbers of women returning to work and working fulltime, the need for childcare to support working families has increased.
Changing financial, social and family expectations have resulted in changes to the working population: women now account for almost half the work force. However, large percentages of working mothers and fathers say they would like more support from their employers when considering work and parenthood.
Organisations that value this key sector of their workforce, and demonstrate this commitment, strengthen their employee/employer relationship. This results in a happy, motivated, effective and committed workforce with a “can do” approach to their work. Helping staff balance their work and home lives assists retention and can increase productivity. In the battle to attract the best people to your company this support can be a very important aid in recruiting and retaining people who make a difference to your business.
All organisations that have a real desire to get the most from their employees need to have an active approach to the work- life balance. debate.
Attitudes towards work- life balance vary, those who have failed have resulted in skills’ losses to organisations, particularly amongst highly trained senior women. Although within most corporate organisations there seems to be some movement forward to help support working parents, there is still a long way to go.
This is an ideal opportunity for employers to establish their reputation as an employer that views parents positively. To find out more about how Caleeda can support you with this please contact us.
