HR asks faculty, staff to complete child care needs assessment, join focus groups

Human Resources distributed the following message to faculty and staff on Oct. 25:

Dear Faculty and Staff Colleagues,

Last year, Human Resources convened the Child Care Advisory Committee, which explored ways the local child care challenge impacts Wake Forest families. This committee researched best practices of institutions across the country and shared recommendations for further evaluation of child care solutions. The University has engaged WFD Consulting, an independent work-life management firm, to support this continued analysis.

WFD Consulting will begin working immediately to understand the child care needs of our campus community so they can provide considerations regarding next steps. Please consider:

  1. Completing the needs assessment by November 6. This confidential assessment will take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete, using a computer or tablet. Onsite labs will be available in early November for Graylyn and Facilities & Campus Services staff to complete the assessment.
  2. Participating in a focus group the week of November 11. You may sign up via the Professional Development Center for faculty and staff small group discussions, facilitated by WFD consulting.

These opportunities are voluntary; however, your responses will help Wake Forest evaluate the most effective strategies for addressing child care needs. Please contact AskHR@wfu.edu or 336.758.4700 with questions.
