Employer-supported childcare is becoming an increasingly common corporate social responsibility practice around the world. It is a key aspect of achieving women's economic empowerment while promoting the welfare of future generations. Investing in quality childcare solutions and family-friendly policies, specific to company needs, is a win-win for employers and workers.


On 15 January 2020, the WE EMPOWER G7 Team hosted "Employer Supported Solutions for Childcare" online training webinar. This was a tutorial on how to implement this innovative work-life balance policy. Participants were equipped with a toolkit on the ins-and-outs of employer-supported childcare.
