OneHSN to Help Address COVID-Related Staffing Crisis in Childcare Sector Through New Technology Partnership with BookJane
Partnership comes on the cusp of the federal budget expected to focus on health, childcare, and the shortage of women in the workforce
TORONTO, April 16, 2021 /CNW/ - Today, One Human Service Network ("OneHSN"), a Canadian-based corporation that optimizes human service delivery through its innovative digital childcare platform Childcare ConnectTM, has entered a technology partnership with BookJane, a technology platform that helps long term care (LTC) and senior living facilities find, schedule and communicate with staff. The innovative technology partnership is expected to help alleviate one of the country's most pressing issues ? a shortage of qualified early childhood educators.
The announcement falls on the cusp of the 2021 federal budget which is expected to address the health, childcare, and job creation issues facing Canada's workforce. The shortage of qualified educators in childcare is a growing global crisis. Survey data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics show the loss of over 160,000 women childcare workers from April 2020 to January 2021, increasing the number of resource-strapped childcare providers, thereby reducing childcare space options for families.
"The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the critical need for innovation to help tackle the staff recruitment and retainment challenges being faced by the childcare sector everywhere," says Darryl Buck, President, and CEO of OneHSN. "Our partnership with BookJane will help to improve the access, affordability, and choice of childcare for families and assist childcare workers to get back to work."
With OneHSN's platform of technology, governments and service agencies responsible for building accessible, affordable, high quality childcare service systems can now solve the acute staffing challenges faced by childcare providers and focus on what matters most: educating their children. BookJane's all-in-one platform and marketplace capabilities allow childcare providers to fill shifts, schedule and communicate with their internal, organizational staff, or find extra staff resources on-demand.
The partnership allows OneHSN to expand its offering, allowing clients to make data-centric decisions with advanced forecasting and real-time analytics across an organization or childcare service system in municipal, provincial, state, territory, or country levels.
"We're very excited about our partnership with OneHSN to help solve some of the childcare challenges in North America," says Curtis Khan, CEO, and Founder of BookJane.
