A No Cost Workforce Support

Workforce challenges don’t stop at the workplace. For many Missouri employers,
child care is one of the most common, but least visible, barriers affecting attendance, productivity, and retention.

Through Child Care Keeps Missouri Working℠ (CCKMW), businesses can give employees access to Child Care Concierge Referrals at no cost. This benefit is available to all employees, not just parents.

What Are Child Care Concierge Referrals?
Concierge referrals provide one-on-one support to help employees navigate their child care
needs quickly and effectively. Support includes:

∙ Personalized child care referrals
∙ Guidance on availability, options, and costs
∙ Help that reduces stress and minimizes time away from work

Why Employers Are Using Concierge Services
Employers across Missouri are using concierge services as a practical workforce
strategy because they:
∙ Improve employee retention and stability
∙ Require no financial investment from the employer
∙ Are easy to share and integrate within existing benefit communications

Who Should You Share This With?
Employers are encouraged to share information about concierge services broadly within
their organization. These services are designed to support:
∙ Parents
∙ Grandparents raising grandchildren
∙ Caregivers and guardians
∙ Employees helping family members with child care needs

Offering child care benefits doesn’t require a long-term commitment or a complex rollout. It begins with sharing the resource and letting employees know help is available. If your business would like to learn more about how services under the CCKMW umbrella, including Child Care Concierge Referrals can support your workforce, we are happy to talk.
