A large pharmaceutical company wanted to support its working parents (and enhance its employee benefits package) by providing a subsidised Holiday Club service during the easter and summer vacation periods. The company contracted us to set up and manage the entire programme on their behalf.
The client had several offices in dispersed locations and was unable to accommodate a Holiday Club on any of these sites for security reasons. We therefore rented space in four local schools (in line with the company’s commitment to community engagement) and set up four separate Holiday Clubs so that parents could choose the one that was most convenient for their particular workplace.
We then 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 – all for a fixed annual management fee.
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.
