My previous employer had onsite day care. I would love to discuss this with my HR and pitch a realistic pitch.

Anyone had success proposing a new benefit to their employer that doesn’t work in Benefits or HR?

That’s a great idea! I’d start by gathering data (costs, employee interest, retention benefits) so you can show the business case. Maybe find examples of companies of similar size that offer it. If you can, team up with other parents to strengthen your pitch. Framing it as a talent retention tool could help a lot!!

Any tips on where to start gathering data? I obviously have number on how much daycare costs me as a parent, but not operational costs to run a daycare.

It comes down to liability. Most employers are risk averse and an Onsite Daycare can be a lot of risk. So, I would suggest getting with your Legal team and find out what concerns they would have. Build a proposal around addressing those concerns as well as Safety, Cost Control, and Employee Engagement.

Even then...this is a tough sell for most employers. Good luck.

Thanks! Great thought!

That is a HUGE expense. Before doing any research to waste your time, just reach out to your current benefits team to see if it has ever been considered. Most employers are trying to cut cost…

Great point. I think I’ll find a buddy in HR that’s not in that team and ask for this historical context.

I am thinking of leaving my stable full time job for a contract position (ongoing with no time frame) for a bigger raise (making an exra $20/hour) with a large tech company. I'll still get benefits through Aquent so it's not a huge loss. It just feels risky in terms of being a contractor and the potential for it to end at anytime. Seems like a good opportunity though to get my foot in the door and potentially apply for full time jobs later on

I’d like some independent views please, on a financial decision my wife and I are about to make. We’re looking to buy our first/dream home and the property is valued at $1.25m. We have savings of $250k and our HHI is c$350k, with no debt. We will probably exhaust our savings on the deposit and closing costs. A $1m with mortgage at 6% with property taxes is c$8k/month. We net about $14k, we think it’s just about manageable, however keen to get your views please? More context in comment below.
