Benefits to the Agencies
What are the benefits to the agencies?
By helping Federal employees with their child care costs,
- Agencies can improve recruitment and retention---they can recruit
more skilled employees and they can retain valuable employees;
- Agencies can save costly training expenses for new employees and
save on lost productivity due to the need to replace employees;
- Agencies can improve human capital practices;
- Employees who previously could not afford licensed or regulated child
care may be able to do so as a result of this authority;
- They should feel more comfortable with their new child care arrangements
and have fewer distractions at work;
- Agencies are supporting good job performance and good attendance;
- Agencies that have on-site child care centers with vacancies can
use this authority to help fill the vacancies at their own centers;
and
- Agencies can contribute to improved employee morale.
