DIAL-AN-ANGEL forms business alliance with UK's largest provider of emergency care

21st September 2011

The UK's largest provider of employee backup care benefits well known for their unique Emergency Childcare service unites with DIAL-AN-ANGEL® to consolidate the market internationally. 

A new relationship announced between Australian based DIAL-AN-ANGEL® and London-based My Family Care® will allow two major childcare and eldercare providers to share best practices on maintaining and strengthening relationships with existing clients, as well as cultivating and evaluating potential business initiatives.  DIAL-AN-ANGEL® is a national agency specialising in the provision of home and family care, while My Family Care provides solutions that allow employees in the U.K. to manage their family care responsibilities with their work commitments.

"We are delighted to be working with My Family Care as
they share our passion for delivering family friendly solutions for childcare to corporations. We both firmly believe that working parents and carers need strong support in the workplace as well as in the home to raise resilient and happy children."said Danielle Robertson, CEO for DIAL-AN-ANGEL®

"In today's world there is no simple choice between work and family.  A growing number of employers have realised that helping employees with their family care needs makes business sense. With more dual career couples, more employees have care commitments, and supportive family services are critical to a company's bottom line.  If employers want to ensure a productive staff - to recruit, retain, engage them and address absenteeism head on - they need to help employees balance childcare with their work responsibilities." Says Ben Black founder
of My Family Care.  This new alliance helps employers offer a consistent emergency care benefit to their employees in the UK and Australia."
