Finding and choosing quality childcare is a major challenge for many working parents.

By assisting employees to meet the challenge of finding and managing their childcare responsibilities, organisations can improve their retention of talented and experienced people who are balancing work and childcare responsibilities. For new parents in particular, an organisation's work/life/flexibility policies can encourage and assist employees in returning to work following parental leave.

The Managing Work|Life Balance Childcare & Parenting Information Kit is a cost effective and practical resource for organisations who wish to distinguish themselves as an "employer of choice" by providing ready access to information and support services for working parents.

The Kit contains information, ideas and suggestions to help employees make the right choices for themselves and their families. The Kit has recently been updated to include information relevant to Carers in New Zealand.
