Fixing the holiday childcare gap: How businesses can support hourly and shift-based employees
TeamSense reports that holiday childcare gaps impact hourly workers, causing stress and lost income. Employers can support staff with flexible schedules, backup care, and subsidies to boost productivity and retention. The holiday childcare gaps occur when school closures and reduced childcare availability leave working parents, particularly hourly and shift-based employees, without reliable care during their working hours. These gaps often occur during school breaks and holidays, leading to parents to miss work and lose income. KPMG found that an average of 1.34 million workers in the U.S. were affected by inadequate childcare solutions last year, with mothers representing 70% of the affected workers. This issue is also a recurring issue for employers who track absence rates over time to identify when childcare breakdowns are most likely to occur. Some employers are developing innovative solutions to help their workers during childcare breaks, such as flexible work arrangements that allow employees to set their own start and end times while still meeting required hours.
