Official opening at Orange Communications SA

Lausanne (ots)

Crèche for the children of employees of Orange
Having managed the project to set up a crèche for
the children of employees in Lausanne, Orange Communications SA
opened its doors on 19th August to take in some 44 small children. To
celebrate the event and to see the place for themselves, the canton
and municipal authorities, as well as the parents and children, have
been invited this Saturday 9th November to the official opening. In
this difficult economic context, Orange Communications SA is thus
demonstrating its intention to resolutely look to the future.
The roughly 100 guests were delighted with this nice, friendly
crèche, while a show featuring clowns and balloons was laid on for
their visit. They listened to Mme Anne Giroud, Head of the Juvenile
Protection Department of the canton of Vaud, say that "the company of
tomorrow will listen to the needs of its employees and their family".
Mr Oscar Tosato, Municipal Councillor responsible for the Children,
Youth and Education Department, for his part, stated that "the city
of Lausanne is pleased with its partnership with Orange, which has
led to an agreement guaranteeing the long-term existence of the "les
Lucioles" crèche". As for Mr Christian Luginbuhl, Head of Human
Resources for Orange Communications SA Switzerland, he explained his
company's intentions, namely "wanting to take on its citizenship role
by not only assisting and accompanying the children in their daily
lives, but also employees in their roles as parents".
The "Les Lucioles" crèche enjoys easy access, since it is located
about a hundred metres from the World Trade Center, to the north of
the city where Orange has its offices. It is located in a villa that
has been specially converted to respond to the needs of those who use
it. It accepts children from the end of their Mums' maternity leave
until they go to infant school. Thus, from 4 months to 4 and a half
years of age, children are looked after by a team of nine qualified
staff, who are both experienced and chosen with care. The crèche is
designed to answer to the needs of working parents and is therefore
open from Monday to Friday, from 7.30 am to 6.15 pm. The children are
split into three age groups: the oldest, between 2 and 4 and a half
years of age, moved in at the beginning of September; the toddlers -
1 to 2 years of age -were already there in mid-August. As for the
youngest occupants, from 4 to 12 months, they have been attending the
nursery since mid-September. Priority is given to children of Orange
Communications SA employees in the new crèche, which even has its own
garden.
Not a new step for Orange Communications SA
The opening of the "Les Lucioles" crèche is more than just a trial
run for Orange Communications SA. In Zurich, the mobile phone
operator is a member of the association that runs the "Frechdachs"
crèche (which literally translates as "cheeky raccoons"). This
collaborative effort allows Orange Communications SA to offer places
in an already existing structure to the children of employees. Just
like "Les Lucioles", the Zurich crèche also looks after three age
groups.
