EMPLOYERS AND HUMAN RESOURCE PROFESSIONALS

What you don't know about child care can cost you plenty. Unscheduled absences cost Canadian companies an average of $3,350 per year, per employee.

Nearly a quarter of unscheduled absences are the result of child care breakdown. More than 30% of employed parents report that they've considered leaving their employers due to child care issues. There are many things you can do to address these issues in your workplace. Most are more affordable than you might think.

The ECCDC offers employers and HR professionals a variety of resources designed to help employees be successful both at work and at home. In addition to our handy Child Care Choices registry that allows you or your employees to search for available child care spaces close to home or your workplace, the ECCDC offers workplace wellness seminars, lunch hour workshops and networking meetings for parents, and consulting services for employers considering on-site child care as an employee benefit.

Additionally, the ECCDC offers numerous marketing and sponsorship opportunities for businesses and employers seeking to foster a family-friendly image, or who need to market their products and services to families with children.

As an independent charitable organization devoted to helping individuals and organizations achieve their child care goals, all of the proceeds from our services to employers help make new learning equipment, toys and books available in our Resource Library, and expand or make more affordable the range of services and supports we offer child care providers in our community.
