On-Site Kindergarten Makes Employees' Time More Efficient
Society
Ulaanbaatar, April 21, 2023 /MONTSAME/. For the 2022-2023 school year, there are a total of 1,413 kindergartens operating across the country, and 86.5 percent of children aged from two to five are currently receiving preschool education services.
One approach to improve the accessibility of kindergartens is to set up on-site kindergartens for the children of companies’ employees. Setting up on-site kindergartens, allows organizations to ensure employee retention, boost productivity, and undertake their social responsibility. Moreover, on-site kindergartens can improve work-life balance, increase job satisfaction and loyalty, and reduce absenteeism, making employees' time more efficient.
The Ministry of Education and Science has reported that in this school year, 28 organizations and enterprises established their kindergartens, and approximately 2,500 children enrolled in these kindergartens. For instance, the Gobi Corporation has set up the "Gobi Kids" kindergarten with a capacity of 120 children. The Mongolia-Japan Teaching Hospital also operates a kindergarten that accommodates 160 children. Intermed Hospital has established the "Enkhriikhen Urs" kindergarten, which serves 80 children. Additionally, the "Allergy Med" Hospital has a kindergarten, which is accommodating 25 children now.
