Setting up a company nursery is beneficial for both employees and the company.
For employees
For parents and employees, the company nursery has several interests:
- Travel time from home to work unchanged (saving time)
- Crèche hours adapted to employee schedules
- Obtaining a place for the child made easier
- Less stress
- No problem with the type of childcare
- More simplified return from maternity / parental leave
- Less worry of knowing the child nearby
- CAF help
- Tax reduction
- Price equivalent to a municipal crèche
- Better work-life balance
- Possibility for mothers to continue breastfeeding
For the company
Companies setting up a company crèche can be helped financially and fiscally: family tax credit , deductibility of charges (therefore lower taxes), single service provision , help from the General Council, CAF, etc.). The other advantages for companies are as follows:
- Increased productivity
- More invested and efficient employees
- Employee loyalty
- Reduced delays
- Less extended parental leave
- Reduction of absenteeism
- Reduction in turnover
- More attractive company
- Image of the valued company
Disadvantages for parents
Although the corporate nursery has many positive sides, as parents, you should think about the following:
-
- Professional life closer to family life (is seeing your employer or a colleague in a place that concerns your personal life disturbing?)
- Proximity with the child which is reassuring but not necessarily favorable (risk of becoming too close)
