The Solution

Whirlpool partnered with KinderCare Learning Companies to develop The Eddy, a custom on-site child care center at its Benton Harbor headquarters. The center was designed in close collaboration with Whirlpool, featuring the company’s signature appliances and embodying its values. The Eddy provides employees with confidence that their children are receiving high-quality care, allowing them to focus on their work.

Whirlpool also implemented Tuition Benefit nationwide, making it possible for all employees to save money with affordable, high-quality child care, no matter their location.

The Results

Since opening The Eddy and offering Tuition Benefit to employees across the country, Whirlpool has seen a significant boost in employee satisfaction and retention. The center has become an essential part of the company’s talent attraction strategy, helping it stand out as a family-friendly employer of choice, and has also strengthened its culture by expanding their community in a way that reflects its values and commitment to families.
