Intending to combat the cost of absenteeism, workplace disruptions or a significant change in productivity due to an employee with child or elder care worries, employers are starting to offer Care.com’s Workplace Solutions as an employee benefit. Distributable through brokers, the online platform and consulting service helps families find every day, back-up and occasional care across the U.S.
Care.com launched in 2006, and the Workplace Solutions product has been in the employer space for roughly 18 months, according to Chris Duchesne, VP of Workplace Solutions.
