Methodology: A structured questionnaire has been developed and distributed to the current daycare facility users to collect information on the research framework. Data collected from 203 respondents have been analyzed using smartPLS4 to establish the possible relationship between four daycare service factors and the productivity of female employees.

Findings: The results show that corporate onsite daycare facility has a significant positive impact on the productivity of female employees. Whereas the impact of cost-efficient corporate daycare, infrastructure, and quality of daycare services have not been statistically significant.

Practical Implications: The study has great practical implications as the findings will help organizations in designing an appropriate daycare service facility for female employees in Bangladesh.

Originality/Value: As corporate daycare is an inclusion strategy that attracts female employees to the workforce. Organizations are trying to provide daycare facilities to retain more women employees as supported by previous research. However, the productivity in the workplace of female employees, who have been provided with daycare facilities remains unresolved in the developing economy. So the study will fill the gap in the existing literature on onsite daycare systems.

Research Limitations: The current study is based on urban settings limiting the cultural diversity in the responses and based on convenient sampling, which might limit the generalizability of the findings.
