A healthy workplace means more than just warding off colds and the flu. It is more holistic and takes into consideration the physical, spiritual, environmental, intellectual, emotional, occupational and mental health of employees. Wellness promotion doesn’t just benefit the employee.
“Child care is central to providing support to children and families, enabling parents to contribute to the economy and ensuring the learning, care, and developmental needs of children are met. The child care workforce is critical to the success of these outcomes and to the well-being of a healthy and productive society.” – CCHRSC Working for Change Report, 2004

Language used in ECEC can vary depending on the governance model or province/territory in which you work. Throughout the HR Toolkit, the term “organization” is used to denote a variety of early learning and child care settings – nonprofit, public or commercial. Sometimes the words “centre” “agency” or “facility” are also used. Several sections relate and refer to “boards of directors”.
To keep good employees, you must meet their needs and expectations, and understand what keeps them inspired. Employee needs and expectations vary from one person to the next. They also vary depending on a variety of factors including the generation of the workers.
