Take your child to work! Yangzhou issues opinions

Workplace women are always anxious about being busy with work and not having time to take care of their children. If we could take our children to work and send them to the childcare classes set up by the company, it would be perfect. Having a second or third child, there won't be the trouble of being left unattended.

Recently, Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province issued a new policy entitled "Guiding Opinions of Yangzhou City on Strengthening the Care and Care of Children of Employers", encouraging enterprises to actively adapt to the implementation of the "three child" birth policy, strengthen the care and care of children of employees, provide care and care services for children under the age of 3, and ensure that employees take their children to work without delay.

At the same time, for enterprises that provide excellent childcare and childcare services, Yangzhou will also offer "real gold and silver" as rewards. Every year, 10 to 20 excellent caring and childcare classes and employers will be selected based on merit, and each will receive a subsidy of 12000 yuan, which will be used exclusively for their own purposes.

New policy: Encourage enterprises to establish custodial institutions to care for children of employees under 3 years old

The Shanghai Securities News reporter learned that the "Opinions" were jointly issued by the Yangzhou Federation of Trade Unions and the Yangzhou Health Commission, aiming to address the concerns of employees caring for their children. The Opinion adheres to the work philosophy of "adapting measures to local conditions, prioritizing inclusive care, and being flexible and diverse", and promotes employers to explore existing resources or introduce social resources, providing diversified inclusive custody and childcare services for their employees. Every year, select a group of typical labor union caring care classes and caring care employers.

The Opinion also establishes construction norms and standards for the establishment of childcare institutions. Employers such as government agencies, enterprises and institutions, and industrial parks with conditions can provide convenient and accessible welfare childcare services to their employees through individual, joint, or purchased services. In terms of expenses, the Yangzhou Federation of Trade Unions stated that the funds required for grassroots trade unions to carry out custody and childcare services can be allocated from trade union funds. Grassroots trade unions should follow the collective decision-making process and support units that meet the conditions to provide childcare services for the children of employees.

Because the objects of childcare are children of employees under the age of 3, that is to say, the childcare classes established by the enterprise are designed to provide effective care for the children of employees before entering kindergarten. The implementation of this measure will supplement and improve childcare and custody services for children of all ages, achieving worry free parenting during the day.

More affordably, the new policy introduced by Yangzhou requires employers to provide free or low-cost childcare services, and may also charge a portion of the cost, with prices not exceeding the local inclusive childcare service fee standards. If there is no unified fee standard for inclusive childcare services in the local area, the service price should not be higher than the average fee standard for childcare services in the local area.

Response: Finally able to bring children to and from work together

Once the new policy for childcare in Yangzhou was announced, netizens frequently liked it. A netizen said, "Finally, we can take our children to work together." Ms. Li, a citizen, gave birth to a second child last year, and her eldest child is already in elementary school. Er Bao has just turned one year old and no one is taking care of her. Ms. Li originally wanted to hire a nanny, but couldn't find a suitable one, and has to bear the cost of more than 5000 yuan per month. If the employer can provide childcare services, Ms. Li said it will definitely be the best choice, taking the children to work together.

The establishment of childcare classes as a humane and public welfare institution by enterprises can not only provide thoughtful services for employees, alleviate the worry of carefree mothers having a second or third child during the day, but also provide more employment opportunities for society, while promoting stickiness and loyalty between enterprises and employees. Of course, there are also netizens who provide suggestions and suggestions for this. A specialized regulatory department should be established for the standards of childcare class construction, the qualifications and service capabilities of practitioners, and practitioners should undergo professional training and hold certificates to work.

Standard: Childcare institutions must complete registration with the local health department

Companion with love, never disappoint. For the standardization of the construction of custody institutions, the Opinion clearly states that employer childcare institutions must complete registration with the local health department. Third party childcare institutions should have at least one year of successful experience in infant and toddler care.

The Opinion clearly states that the objects of childcare are children of employees under the age of 3, and childcare institutions can generally set up three types of classes: infant class, childcare small class, and childcare large class. Infants and young children over 18 months old can be mixed into classes, with no more than 18 people in each class.

In terms of personnel allocation for childcare classes, the ratio of caregivers to infants and young children should not be lower than the following standards: 1:3 for infant classes, 1:5 for preschool classes, and 1:7 for preschool classes. According to relevant regulations, institutions should also be equipped with qualified responsible persons, health personnel, cooking personnel, and security personnel.

In addition, the Opinion also requires that childcare facilities should not be set up in factories, four or more floors, basements, warehouses, illegal or dangerous buildings, and outdoor activity areas should be set up according to the site conditions, equipped with appropriate gaming facilities. Childcare institutions should set up safety protection facilities and equipment that meet the standards.

Progress: Yangzhou has established 96 childcare classes this year

The Yangzhou Federation of Trade Unions, together with the Municipal Health Commission, stated that Yangzhou will increase efforts to further refine and implement this work in the next step. Next, the Yangzhou Federation of Trade Unions will select 10-20 excellent caring care classes and caring care employers based on merit each year. Priority will be given to recommending caring care classes and caring care employers that serve industrial workers and new types of workers. Each company will receive a subsidy of 12000 yuan, which will be used exclusively for its own purposes.

It is reported that since the beginning of this year, the Health Commission of Yangzhou City has vigorously promoted the provision of childcare services for employees by government agencies, enterprises and institutions, focusing on solving the problem of family childcare for employees, helping to solve the worries of employees after childbirth, and effectively solving difficulties and practical matters for employees. As of now, the city of Yangzhou has organized 96 types of caring childcare classes.
