The Consulting Practice at Bright Horizons, in cooperation with Dr. Jamie Ladge from Northeastern University, completed a comprehensive research study on the impact of dependent care supports on a variety of health and wellness as well as engagement measures. Organizations that offer dependent care supports, along with a culture that supports their use, have the potential to realize substantial savings from a reduction in healthcare costs. These organizations also benefit from reduced absenteeism, stronger retention — which will be increasingly important as the labor market loosens up — and a workforce that is more engaged in and committed to the success of their organization.
