Why Forward-Thinking Companies Partner With NEST

Work-life balance is the #1 deciding factor for today’s top talent, especially parents of babies and toddlers.
Yet many companies still lose highly qualified employees to part-time traps, burnout, or the struggle of full-time childcare.

And in a competitive market shaped by the Fachkräftemangel, companies cannot afford to lose the very people they worked so hard to hire.

NEST offers a simple, powerful solution:
Professional childcare on-site with a premium coworking space, allowing parents to work effectively while staying close to their child.

It’s not a perk.
It’s a talent retention strategy, an inclusion strategy, and a productivity strategy all at once.

Expat Special

For families of talent relocating to Hamburg with a young child. Moving to a new country is one of the biggest challenges for global hires, especially when:

• Kita allocation is unpredictable

• Final Kita placement may be across town

• Waiting times stretch from months to over a year

• Parents feel isolated without support or community

The NEST Expat Special solves all of this.
It includes full-day NEST access and childcare, and can be shared between both parents in the same household.

Benefits for companies & relocation agencies:

• Faster onboarding for international talent

• Less stress for relocating families

• Reduced risk of drop-off before start date

• Smooth integration into Hamburg work & family life

• A bilingual (German/English) childcare environment

• Community for expat parents – critical for retention

This is not just childcare.
It’s a soft-landing package for global hires.

Why NEST Is a Strategic Advantage for Employers

Higher retention after parental leave

Parents who feel supported stay longer and return more confidently.

Fewer requests for part-time transitions

Parents who can work productively near their child are less likely to go part-time, reducing team strain and rehiring costs.

Increased productivity for hybrid & remote teams

More focus and peace of mind for your employees means better, more reliable results for you. Everyone wins.

Reduced burnout & stress

Childcare stability directly impacts mental health and performance of parents.

A stronger employer brand

Real family-friendliness stands out more than any marketing slogan or fruit basket.

DEI impact: Support that makes a real difference

Be at the forefront of true workplace equality by removing structural barriers.

Solves a real bottleneck in talent acquisition

The #1 reason new hires struggle? Childcare.
You’ll be the company that solved it.

Who NEST is perfect for

Companies competing for top talent in Hamburg

Teams with one or more parents of children aged 0–5

Remote-first or hybrid organizations

High-demand sectors (IT, consulting, creative industries, healthcare)

Global corporations relocating employees to Hamburg

Start-ups wanting to differentiate themselves as true family-friendly employers

HR teams wanting a benefit that is actually used

What Makes NEST Different From Everyday “Family-Friendly” Benefits

Fruit baskets are nice.
Flexible hours are helpful.
But neither solve the root problem:

Parents cannot do focused, high-quality work unless their childcare is reliable, and their child is happy and close.

NEST is the first solution in Hamburg that integrates both needs:

• professional childcare

• a quiet workspace

• proximity to the child

• flexibility

• community

• bilingual support

It’s a benefit employees will talk positively about for years, and a competitive advantage that no contender can easily copy.

"

We had the most understanding employers who let us work fully from home with flexible hours. I had reduced to part-time – and was still burning out. Unless we had a nanny at home with us, we fell short. As parents and as employees.

– Barbara G.

For Relocation Agencies & Global Mobility Partners

Help your corporate clients overcome the biggest onboarding challenge for young families.

You can confidently recommend the Expat Special as:

• a stop-gap while waiting for Kita placement

• a long-term solution for families preferring flexible care

• a resource for both parents, shared between them

• a bilingual environment easing cultural transition

Even when a Kita spot is allocated to relocating parents, it can be far from ideal. It could be all across town or simply not a good match. Picking the right daycare is a delicate and highly personal task, and the wrong choice can lead to unnecessary hurdles and stress for parents, especially when they are just starting out in a new city.

NEST provides a ready-made landing pad: childcare + workspace + community + stability.

You’ll help companies onboard talent faster and families thrive sooner.

A Business Case That Pays for Itself

Replacing an employee costs 2–3x annual salary.
Losing parents to part-time creates capacity gaps and project delays.
Childcare instability leads to absenteeism and reduced performance.

One NEST corporate membership can prevent all three.
