Companies that offer an array of childcare support services for their employees see decreased absenteeism and increased productivity and are better able to attract and retain talent. For example, studies have shown that when companies provide childcare, employee absences decrease by up to 30% and job turnover declines by as much as 60%.1 It’s these types of returns that made creating a range of childcare support benefits — from on-site childcare to backup care — a no-brainer for The Home Depot. This case study looks at how The Home Depot decided to implement these programs, what design elements were essential, and the success of the programs. (author abstract)
