Corporate Partnerships

On-site childcare has become an important benefit that many progressive workplaces are offering to their employees and studies show that this initiative is proving to be beneficial to the entire organization. From promoting diversity in the workforce to maintaining employee satisfaction, the need for an organization to partner with a daycare facility is now paramount.

The Maternity Benefit Amendment Act (2017)

The Maternity Benefit Amendment Act of 2017 states that every establishment having fifty or more employees shall have a childcare facility within a one kilometer radius, either onsite or via a tie-up with a child care operator nearby. This recognition by the Government has reiterated the demand for a more inclusive workplace, catering to the needs of all employees.

In 2020, the benefits under the Maternity Benefit Act were moved under The Code Of Social Security 2020 under the Ministry of Labour & Employment. The purpose of this was to amend and consolidate the laws relating to social security for employees, including:

Enhanced coverage
Extended benefits to workers in organized / unorganized sectors
Introducing maximum benefits under minimum governance
Reflecting uniformity across the four labour codes – wage, industrial relations, occupational safety, health & working conditions
Enforcing more stringently the need of child care support for women employees
