NYK promotes gender equality by offering help to employee mothers
JAPANESE shipping giant NYK has signed an agreement with Knowledge Universe Singapore, a private education organisation, to provide assistance to employees with children, particularly working mothers assigned overseas.
This is part of the company's Gender Equality Action Plan with Knowledge Universe Singapore, in which an NYK employee child can enroll at Pat's Schoolhouse, an early childhood education centre operated by the organisation.
In recognition of the initial pupil enrolment, the general manager of the human resources group at NYK's head office, Satoshi Nemoto, presented a gift to mark this agreement to Knowledge Universe Singapore.
