Not surprisingly, the feedback from parents was overwhelmingly positive:
- 100% of employees said the program improved the overall workplace culture
- 88% of employees said the program was a significant support for their mental health and wellbeing
- On average, employees reported gaining an additional 3-4 hours of productivity per day due to the availability of the school holiday program
Parents loved the opportunity to show their children where they work and introduce them to their workmates. As for feedback from the children, well, just check out the smiles in the photos below!
