A No-Cost Workforce Support: Concierge Child Care Services

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 Concierge Child Care Services at no cost. This benefit is available to all employees, not just parents.

What Are Concierge Child Care Services?
Concierge services 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

Employees do not need to be enrolled in a subsidy or special program to use this service. It's simply an added layer of support employers can make available to their workforce.

Why Employers Are Using Concierge Services
Employers across Missouri are using concierge services as a practical workforce strategy because they:
∙ Reduce last-minute absenteeism related to child care disruptions
∙ 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

Child care challenges affect more people than we often realize and support should be
just as inclusive.
