THE BUSINESS CASE

Reduce Absenteeism & Increase Productivity

Your employees have caregiving responsibilities for loved ones of all ages, in all locations and at all hours. A primary reason employees miss work is to deal with the broad range of temporary breakdowns in care for their loved ones.  Backup Care Options enables your employees to get to work and allows them to remain productive while resolving those temporary breakdowns in dependent care.

Recruit & Retain Talent

Backup care improves employee morale by helping employees balance work and family responsibilities. Knowing their loved ones are well cared for gives employees peace of mind so they can focus on work when necessary. The need to recruit and retain top talent is driving companies toward new and innovative work/life programs like Backup Care Options, an award-winning “best practice” among leading employers.

Return on Investment

For every dollar invested in backup care, employers can expect a return of $3-$4 in increased productivity and reduced turnover.[1]   Unlike many other benefits, this program gives a demonstrative return on investment.  See the Return on Investment page for more information, and to calculate your company's cost of absenteeism.
