- Summary:
-
The general purpose of this year-long study was to evaluate the effects of the Edmonton Hospital Workers' Child Care Society programs in three Canadian hospitals on the employers, the employees, and the children served. Specifically, this study investigated the effects of employer-supported child care on (1) employee absenteeism; (2) tardiness; (3) recruitment; (4) retention/turnover; (5) productivity; (6) morale/attitude; (7) shiftwork; (8) awareness, use, and satisfaction with the program; and (9) families' and children's reactions and behavior changes. Data were collected via questionnaires, structured and non-structured interviews, on-site visits, and review of personnel and program records. Findings show that the employer-supported child care programs had no statistically significant effect on absenteeism, tardiness, or recruitment. Statistically significant effects were found in employees' perceptions of lower stress levels, improved concentration on the job, working desired hours, being able to work part-time or full-time, scheduling vacation time, and being able to return to work after the birth of a child when the difficulties due to child-related responsibilities of parent-employees were compared to those of other hospital employees with children less than 13 years of age. These findings are considered to have implications for workers' productivity. (RH)
