New Partnership Expands Access to Affordable, Reliable Child Care for Employees in Healthcare, Manufacturing, Non-Profits, and Government Contracting.
SAN DIEGO, CA, UNITED STATES, May 23, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- TOOTRiS, the nation’s largest real-time Child Care Benefits platform, is excited to announce a strategic partnership with Capital Services, a premier provider of employee benefits solutions. Together, they will help employers across many industries, including healthcare, manufacturing, non-profits, and government contracting, tackle one of today’s most pressing workforce challenges – Child Care.The Child Care Crisis is a Workforce Crisis
The collaboration comes at a time when Child Care access is a major workforce issue. According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, 58% of working parents have left a job due to Child Care challenges, and nearly 70% report that Child Care issues impact their work productivity (U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, 2023). The economic consequences are staggering, with the U.S. losing $122 billion annually due to Child Care-related workforce disruptions (ReadyNation, 2023).
For employers, this translates into significant operational and financial challenges. The problem is especially severe in industries that rely on frontline, hourly, and shift-based employees, where a lack of Child Care directly affects staffing and business continuity.
• Healthcare: The American Hospital Association reports that one in five healthcare workers have left their jobs since 2020, with lack of Child Care being a major factor.
• Manufacturing: The National Association of Manufacturers found that 83% of manufacturers struggle to recruit and retain talent—largely due to workforce barriers like Child Care.
• Non-Profits: The National Council of Nonprofits cites high turnover as a critical issue, especially among mission-driven workers balancing caregiving responsibilities.
• Government Contractors: With strict contract labor compliance requirements, unplanned absenteeism due to Child Care gaps can put government contracts at risk.
