One of the hardest things about being a parent is finding care for your children while you're at work. This can significantly limit your ability to find employment in your field or advance in your career after obtaining employment. However, Toyota is making things easier on its manufacturing team members by offering enhanced childcare options.
The Importance of Reliable Childcare
It's not enough to simply have options when it comes to who watches your child. It's also critical that you trust who you are leaving your children with and that their schedule works with yours. Toyota's efforts ensure that workers can feel good about putting their children in daycare if they don't have any other choices. As the program is sponsored by the company, workers know that their needs are being taken into account, which makes it a worthwhile benefit.
Workers Often Work Rotating Shifts
It's not uncommon for workers to engage in shift work, which means being on the job at almost any hour of a given day. Having reliable childcare means not having to pay exorbitant fees to a center or babysitter to ensure that they get care early or late in the day or on weekends. Even for those who work a regular shift, getting care can be tough, as it's impossible to predict whether traffic will be light or if other issues might prevent you from getting to a traditional care center on time for pickup.
Childcare Is Expensive
Childcare is perhaps the biggest expense a parent will deal with. While kids become more self-sufficient as they age, you may need to put them in before or after school care until age 12 or older. Ultimately, having a childcare center available to them means parents can save thousands of dollars every month compared to traditional prices.
