According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, about half of families with children today have two parents working. Participating in a meeting not only keeps a parent away from his children, but also brings many parenting challenges. As far as single parents are concerned, it can be more complicated.
As a result, some meetings are providing parenting services so that parents can take their children together. It’s a win-win situation: parents can check the pressure at the door and the children spend their lives.
“Providing parenting allows parents who may struggle with parenting to participate,” said Janthea Brigden, CEO of Professional Childcare Provider Services Conference. “By providing on-site childcare services, we ensure that children are nearby, tailored and engaged in An event that is both fun and educational.”
But including children is not only about ensuring they are occupied and entertained – it is about ensuring their safety and avoiding responsibility. “The organizers who hire nannies and daycare workers to get children’s entertainment must ensure that they are licensed when necessary, without a history of child abuse and insufficient insurance.” If harm is taken under the care of day care workers hired by the conference organizer, a lawsuit may be filed against the organizer.”
Here are a few steps to avoid any problems:
1. Research on on-site childcare service providers.
How long have they been doing business? Do they use full-time employees or independent contractors? (The company is better protected when providers hire W-2 employees (directly managed and comply with company standards).) Can they provide references for other meetings? Can they allow you to conduct background checks on workers? What is their staff to children?
2. A thorough inspection of the area or location where a child program is to be held.
Ensure nurseries are safe, clean and safe. Due diligence is key.
3. Create an emergency response plan.
Specialized CPR, first aid and emergency training is a must for your parenting provider.
4. Contact your insurance company.
In addition to childcare providers, does your company’s insurance provider need additional insurance?
5. Solve network security risks.
Parenting providers will need to collect sensitive information about children, such as health issues and special needs. Where will this information be located and how will it be protected?
6. Develop a communication plan for parents.
Talk to your team about how parents update their children throughout the day. What is the agreement in the event of an accident or other problem? If you are unable to contact your parents, be sure to list the backup contacts.
