Employees who have reliable child care are likely to be more productive and have fewer problems with tardiness and absenteeism. Employers can assist employees in securing reliable care by providing on-site childcare services, subsidizing off-site services, establishing flexible spending accounts, and providing information about local childcare resources. Employers that provide childcare assistance often see a reduction in tardiness, absenteeism, and turnover. A variety of options is available to employers that are interested in assisting employees who have caregiving responsibilities for children, elderly parents, or a family member with a disability.
