Provisioning of Creche within the Premises of Office Building

In today’s fast-paced world, juggling work and family life has become increasingly challenging. As working parents, we often find ourselves torn between the responsibilities of our professional and personal lives. One major hurdle that working parents face is finding reliable childcare options for their little ones.

Understanding the importance of supporting its employees and promoting a healthy work-life balance, the Department of Personnel had issued order for Provisioning of Creche within the Premises of Office Building. This initiative aims to alleviate the stress and worries of working parents by offering a safe and convenient childcare solution.

The creche will be equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and staffed by trained professionals who specialize in early childhood development. We understand that leaving your child in someone else’s care can be a daunting task, which is why we have taken extra measures to ensure the highest level of security and care for your little ones.

By having a creche within the office building, parents will have peace of mind knowing that their children are just a few steps away. This proximity will enable parents to visit their kids during breaks or lunchtime, fostering a stronger bond between parents and their children.

Furthermore, this initiative aligns with our commitment to gender equality and inclusivity in the workplace. By providing a creche, we are removing a significant barrier that often hinders women from pursuing their careers or returning to work after maternity leave. This facility will enable new mothers to continue their professional journeys without compromising the well-being of their children.

We believe that the provision of a creche within the premises of our office building will not only benefit our employees but also enhance our organizational culture. It is an investment in our most valuable asset – our people.
