In a bid to remain competitive in attracting new talent and retaining staff, many employers are formalising new ways of work and with the hybrid working revolution in full swing, leading investment banking firm, Numis, recognised a need to support its staff with caring and family responsibilities such that hybrid working be equally beneficial.
A forward-thinking business transitioning into a hybrid working model, their Head of Human Resources, Mica Ross, promptly started to investigate benefits favoured most by working parents. Ross learned flexible childcare would be essential for their parents, and after undertaking internal surveys discovered an acute need for those in senior management.
Choosing a provider
Bubble for Work stood out as the best solution for meeting the flexibility needs of parents and employers. According to Ross, “Because Bubble puts the emphasis on control and trust they were a natural partner for us and we are excited for them to support us as we continue to build a culture which enables our employees to feel supported and fulfilled.”
“Bubble is not only easy to set up, but the fact that parents can book a local, trusted babysitter at short notice for as little as one hour fits with contemporary needs. Already, staff have had instances where a nanny has called in sick, or a nursery has been forced to close, and Bubble has meant they can still attend an important meeting in person.”
“It offers peace of mind as parents can rely on it to provide the childcare they need when they need it, rather than when the providers are open, as is the case with traditional childcare models. It’s great to see that the parents - both mums and dads - that actively use Bubble use it quite often, meaning it is a benefit that works and is needed.”
Parents at Numis receive monthly contributions to their childcare needs as well as a premium subscription to Bubble’s childcare booking platform so they can find help as it suits their schedule without incurring any booking fees.
