Sunshine, a preschool and corporate crèche brand announced expansion of its network with three new in-house crèches. Reportedly, these new locations will be established at Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages (HCCB) in Siddipet, Nestle in Panipat, and Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilisers (RCF) in Alibaug. This expansion is claimed to underscore the company’s commitment to provide childcare solutions to prominent corporate partners and support working parents across the nation. “Sunshine is committed to be at the forefront of initiatives that support working parents and foster a balanced work-life environment,” Saloni Verma, chairperson, Sunshine, said.
As per the report, the Siddipet location is claimed to be a vital part of HCCB’s production network. HCCB is a player in the beverage industry in India that offers numerous bottling plants and production facilities. The addition of an in-house crèche at HCCB Siddipet claims to highlight Sunshine’s dedication to support the employees of a major industry leader, ensuring their children receive care and early education while they contribute to the company’s success. “A buzzword within employee engagement programs is life-work balance, and implementing a workplace childcare facility is a great way to increase employee loyalty. Offering employees workplace childcare shows that the company values them as people, not just as money-making machines, which encourages a positive office culture,” Yalamanchali Saroja, plant HR head, HCCB, said.
On the other hand Nestle, a brand in nutrition, health, and wellness, claims to have a strong foothold in the Indian market with a diverse portfolio of products ranging from infant nutrition to confectionery. The Panipat facility is claimed to be a key component of Nestle’s manufacturing and distribution network. From what it is understood, by establishing a crèche at Nestle Panipat, Sunshine reinforces its commitment to provide childcare services to the employees of the company.
Furthermore, Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilisers (RCF), a public sector enterprise in India, claims to specialise in the production of fertilizers and industrial chemicals. Their Alibaug unit claims to be important in catering to the agricultural sector’s needs to ensure the availability of fertilisers. The introduction of an in-house crèche at RCF Alibaug claims to be a testament to Sunshine’s mission to provide childcare solutions to employees working in crucial industries like agriculture and chemicals.
