Global Switch × Halo

1 · Intro & welcome · 13:00

Thanks for making time

Quick intros round the table.
Purpose today: show how a workplace nursery scheme could work for Global Switch, understand what you need, and agree what happens next.
The short version: employer-supported childcare that saves working parents thousands a year and positions Global Switch as a standout employer for families.
Plan for the half hour: a few questions about where you are today, a live look at the platform, then next steps.

A few questions before the demo

How many employees, and across which sites?London HQ plus data-centre sites — where do people actually work day to day? What childcare or family support do you offer today?Anything in place already — vouchers legacy, emergency care, policies? Roughly how many working parents, and how many returning from parental leave each year?The scheme lands hardest with returners facing full-time nursery bills. Do you already run salary sacrifice schemes?Pension, EVs, cycle to work — tells us how familiar payroll will be with this. What's driving this now?Retention, return-to-office, benefits refresh, a specific ask from staff? Who else needs to be involved, and what's your ideal timeline?HR, payroll, finance sign-off — and when would you want parents enrolled?

The platform, live

Open the employer dashboard ↗

Employer dashboard — everything HR sees in one place: who's enrolled, which nurseries, what it's saving people.
The parent journey — how an employee finds a nursery, signs up, and what their monthly saving looks like.
Everything behind the scenes is handled by Halo — setup, nursery arrangements, and the ongoing running of the scheme.
Payroll — what your team actually has to do each month (very little).

Opens in a new tab — keep this page open to come back to next steps.
