What the corporate service solves

Three levers, a single point of access

When childcare works, parents stay productive, loyal and healthy. 61 % of couples with children are dual earners. 48 % of mothers would work more straight away.

01 · Mental Health
35 % 62 %
parents under strain, with vs. without employer support
Less stress and mental load

Reliable childcare halves the mental load: an effective mental-health measure on a manageable budget.

02 · Retention

Return after parental leave

Better work-life balance helps you keep your best people. Access to childcare decides whether they return.

03 · Productivity
54 %
of companies report fewer days lost
Less downtime when childcare falls through

Nursery closed, child ill: vetted carers often respond within a few hours. Teams keep working instead of losing unplanned days.

Not family policy, but business economics

The childcare crunch shows up in your P&L.

Same labour market, different outcome: the difference is access to childcare at the return to work, causally proven (IZA 2022, DIW/SOEP 2016). This is exactly the access the corporate service creates.

30–200 %

of an annual salary is the cost of replacing one hire (IW Köln 2023). One retained returner per year funds the entire platform licence.
