Comprehensive measures to help out parents have been implemented, involving a policy linking parenthood, the place of women in business and social responsibility. It is based around a 60-bed company crèche situated at La Défense, projects to reserve spaces at intercompany crèches as well as a website containing practical information and tools aimed at parent employees.
GDF SUEZ has built its crèche
The company crèche, situated at La Défense, is at GDF SUEZ headquarters. It is a wonderful architectural space that doubles as a comprehensive educational institution.
In January 2011, the TBabies crèche opened its doors to 60 young children aged 0 to 3 years. The crèche is being run by Babilou. This infancy specialist is responsible for welcoming children into the first crèche built according to the French high-rise buildings regulations.
It is an ambitious and innovative project for more than one reason: its location, size and aims to provide an educational program.
GDF SUEZ has chosen a customised approach and has engaged numerous specialists to carry out this dedicated project.
