With traditionally low pay and high staff turnover, childcare & early learning centres have had to think outside the square to attract and retain talent. Our guide outlines how a strategic approach to HR management – supported by the right technology – can impact workers, the organisations that employ them, and the children in their care.
The unique challenges facing childcare & early learning providers
HR professionals and other business leaders in this sector must tread a fine line between care and compliance.
The wellbeing and quality of care and education for the children in these organisations must of course be the top priority, and in some cases, the compliance elements are in place because of that core mission. Adhering to industry standards, ensuring staff have the right qualifications, and keeping the child to carer ratio balanced must always be considered.
When coupled with acute shortages of labour, employee burnout and high staff turnover, these issues can impact day-to-day operations and long-term business viability.
What is strategic HRM?
To navigate through these challenging times, childcare & early learning providers are looking at ways to enhance their business. Top of the list is developing a strategic approach to human resources management (HRM).
At a foundational level, that means having the right people with the right qualifications in the right roles at the right time and place. Beyond that, it’s about providing a unique employee experience (EX) that engages and develops your people. It’s also about using data to guide decision-making and provide insights to your business – all while remaining compliant with relevant laws and regulations.

This guide examines why a strategic HR function – fueled by that technology – can drive business success.
