“Parents in our company should have optimal opportunities to return to work as soon as possible after their children are born. Careers and children should not be mutually exclusive. That’s why we want to double the number of places at our childcare facilities in Germany by 2011,” said Siemens’ Chief Human Resources Officer Siegfried Russwurm prior to the dedication of the Siemens Kiwis daycare center in Duisburg, Germany. The company already provides 400 places for employee children at its childcare centers - more than any other company in Germany.
