SUBJECT: The Cost of Providing Child Care Case
Summary/Background
There is an increasing number of women, who are entering job market approximately two-thirds since 1990, all the new workers are woman. However, The biggest issue for the woman is maternity and how to take care of their children during their work’s hours.
The idea of providing daycare for the children of working mothers wasn’t a bad idea back to 1988,there was a great deal of employee’s children who had enrolled in the Nyloncraft Learning Center.
On site learning center had a big impact by reduced turnover, absenteeism, and tardiness. It was good for business, employees, and the kids. We wasn’t looking after these children as a baby siting service, but we provided state certified, instruction, professional preschool, and we feed them
The biggest issue that we are facing now is, there is a decreasing of employees’ children number, which means the cost of having this center will increase without real benefits.
Recommendation
Based on our study, we have recommended the following conclusions:
1. Focusing on advertising and post many ads. Everywhere about our center and what we provide the kids.
2. We have to not limit the service to our employees, but to the employees all over the nation.
3. We have to minimize the number of the workers in the daycare center, in order to match the number of the children there, also to reduce the cost.
Basis for recommendation
The basis for this recommendation is two-fold. By integrating the obligations and responsibilities concept into our employees. If we get rid of this center will face a problem with our employees who have enrolled their kids. The average of turnover and absenteeism will increase. As a result, we will loss our employees in which impact our company
