Finding the right care for your children

Work-Based Childcare

Healthcare facilities are starting to get the message that they need to help their employees with childcare issues. A happy employee is a better employee, so by helping the workers find good childcare, the employer can only come out ahead.

Workplace childcare has many advantages, ranging from transportation (you just bring your child or children with you to work) to easy access. Moms who are breastfeeding can often make arrangements to visit their infants in daycare in order to nurse them. Parents can check up on their children if there are any issues, and the caregivers know where the parents are in case of an emergency.

Are there disadvantages? Some workers don’t like their personal lives to be so open to their colleagues, and having their children attending daycare with their colleagues’ children may be too much closeness for them. If there are problems with the childcare, it may be more awkward for an employee to lodge a complaint or ask for difficult issues to be settled.
