THE WHAT? Shiseido has unveiled an employee childcare support service in partnership with Kangaroom+. The service will provide housework and child care assistance by licensed, qualified postpartum care professionals to employees with children aged under 3 months.

THE DETAILS “At Shiseido, we are committed to our ‘People First’ philosophy, recognizing that our human resources are our most valuable assets,” says Emiko Ashida, Shiseido Deputy Chief People Officer. “We are promoting our Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) initiative to inspire every employee to work with vigor and passion, creating new value in the process, in pursuit of our mission, Beauty Innovations for a Better World.”

THE WHY? The service aims to help female employees maintain both physical and mental health and support them in their healthy return to work while helping male employees learn about child care and encouraging them to take paternity leave.
