MyOhana was contracted to provide the Holiday Club service for Next, a British multinational retailer with around 3,000 employees working in its Leicester-based head office.
Next already had a purpose built onsite workplace nursery to support their employees with younger children, but nothing for older children. With our help, they decided to set up a Holiday Club aimed at the parents with school-age children who struggled with childcare arrangements during the holidays. They planned to subsidise the cost of the Holiday Club (as an employee benefit), realising that it would help to improve productivity during annual pinch-points while increasing retention and company loyalty.
We were contracted to provide the Holiday Club service for Next. As they did not have an appropriate area onsite, we found space to rent in a nearby college which included a great outdoor area.
We recruited a team of people who could organise and run suitable activities for older age groups, managed all bookings, handled the finances and provided our client with management information data and reports to show them how the service was being used.
Since we have been managing the service, we have agreed the annual budget with the client each year after presenting them with the fixed and variable costs of the service. This enables them to decide and agree how much they are prepared to underwrite for the coming year.
