CRECHES AT WORK PLACES
056
Women form a large part of our workforce in our Tea Estates. To help them better balance the responsibility of their children with their work and have their children close by while they work, Apeejay Tea Group decided to provide them with crèche facilities in the Estates. The Estate Management has taken up the care of the crèche children on Talup Tea Estate, one of our largest gardens in Assam. Three mobile crèches and three central crèches are now functioning in the area, providing quality care and nutrition to the children. These crèches are supervised by trained crèche attendants.
The crèches have been a boon for the working mothers, who are now at complete peace about the safety and wellbeing of their kids.
We have a long road to travel, still but to continue the process we have initiated proper creche training in conjunction with the UNICEF in another Estate Hapjan.
