Included in these companies’ family-friendly employee benefits is a backup care program provided by Work Options Group. The program, Backup Care Options, acts as a “safety net” for employees who care for children, adults or elderly loved ones, by providing temporary care so employees can get to work when their regular caregiving arrangements are unavailable (ex - school holidays or closures, caregiver vacations, loved ones recovering from illness or surgery.)
Backup care provides both employees and employers with a win-win solution. Employees can work when they would otherwise be unable to do so, and with the confidence that their loved ones are receiving the care they need. At the same time, employers boost productivity and performance by reducing unscheduled absenteeism, plus they enhance recruitment/retention efforts by offering their employees a much needed tool to reduce stress and improve work-life balance.
