Employee Benefit Program

Villey Family First Program – Employee Benefit Scheme

​

Deliver measurable business impact by investing in what matters most: your people. Villey's Employee Benefit Scheme is a strategic employee benefit scheme designed to help organisations maximise productivity, reduce absenteeism, and improve retention - by directly supporting working parents.

Why This Matters for Business

• According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, in June 2024, nearly three quarters (73%) of couple families with children aged 0–14 years had both parents employed. Australian Bureau of Statistics
   

• The Australian Institute of Family Studies has found that in 2022, both parents were employed in 71% of couple families with children under 15. Australian Institute of Family Studies
   

• More couples are working full-time hours: in 2021, 31% of couple families had both parents working full-time, up from 22% in 2009. Australian Institute of Family Studies
   

These trends underscore a critical need: when both parents are employed, unexpected disruptions at home and in childcare can significantly impact hours worked, individuals well-being, engagement, and ultimately performance and output at their place of work.

Business Outcomes You Can Expect

By implementing the Villey Employee Benefit Scheme, research show businesses can see:

• Up to 62% increase in workforce productivity

• Up to 35% reduction in absenteeism

These are not just soft benefits - they translate into financial gains, more reliable output, and stronger team stability.

What Villey Family First Offers

Villey gives your organisation the tools to support working parents in a way that aligns with business goals:
 

• Flexibility: enable employees to use services when they need them - backup childcare for drop-off/pick-ups, managing home affairs and non-career workload, managing personal admin to allow your employees to focus on their jobs.
   

• Autonomy: employees choose what works best for them, reducing stress and increasing focus at work.
   

• Scalability: solutions suited to one-off situations (e.g. return to work) or as standard benefits within broader wellbeing programs.
  
   

How It Strengthens Your Corporate ROI

MetricImpact with Villey Family First
 

• Productivity - Fewer lapses in care = less downtime and lost hours; more hours effectively worked per employee.
   

• Absenteeism - When regular routines are supported, unscheduled leave drops. Reliability - childcare coverage helps avoid emergency time off.
   

• Employee Retention & Engagement - Demonstrating care for family needs increases loyalty, reduces turnover, enhances employer brand.
   

• Operational Efficiency - Ensures smoother workforce planning, fewer last-minute gaps, a more focused and committed workforce.

Putting It Into Practice

• Communication & uptake: educate employees about the benefit, show transparency, make it easy to use - the more it's used, the greater its impact

• Tracking & evaluation: monitor key KPIs (absentee days, turnover among working parents, productivity per hour) to quantify impact and continuously refine the program
