They are being framed as innovative practices to facilitate the integration of professional and caring responsibilities. In this changing landscape, the private sector might benefit from new forms of welfare policies and family-friendly practices that are based on the co-participation of employees, and encouraged by public policies targeting workplace solutions for childcare. This paper intends to contribute to the ongoing debate on socio-technical innovation in management by exploring how collaborative childcare services might be deployed in workplace settings. At the same time, it investigates the role of digital technology in facilitating employees' engagement and participation.10aCollaborative workplace practices10aEmployee participation10aGrounded design.10aSharing networks10aWork-life balance1 aSchiavo, Gianluca1 aLeonardi, Chiara1 aZancanaro, Massimo  utimreview.ca/article/1355
