SAN DIEGO, Feb. 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TOOTRiS Child Care On-Demand announces a new partnership to provide Child Care benefits to employees of TOYOTA BOSHOKU AKI USA, LLC (TBAKI), one of the world's premium automotive interior systems suppliers.

TBAKI is continually improving culture and seeking to add new talent as production demand has increased. By partnering with TOOTRiS, the nation's largest, most comprehensive Child Care network, TBAKI's working parents will be able to quickly search and vet nearly 200,000 providers in a unified platform to find care that fits their specific needs, including options for standard and non-standard hours, drop-in care, after-school programs, specialized education, extracurriculars, and more. The innovative application is also the only one in the nation to offer real-time access to Child Care enrollments, saving parents a lot of frustration, costs, and endless wait time from having to be on futile waitlists. 

"We discovered TOOTRiS through Mazda Toyota Manufacturing," said Jordan Gygi, TBAKI Administration General Manager. "As a key supplier of theirs, we have tracked how valuable the Child Care benefit has been to their employees and wanted to ensure the same success for our team. The benefit also aligns with our culture of 'Smile, Collaborate, and Innovate' to support working parents and contribute to the community." 

Car makers were among the hardest hit by disruptions in supplies over the last three years. While many manufacturers have taken action to reduce supply vulnerabilities, 73% of companies said their current supply chains are not fully protected. That includes challenges in hiring. Manufacturers continue to face high workforce shortages which could lead to 2.1 million potentially unfilled jobs by 2030, according to a study by #" TBAKI & TOOTRiS Partner TBAKI & TOOTRiS Partner
