The day began bright and early as 20 cheerful school-aged children were warmly welcomed in our cafeteria. After a quick icebreaker game and a delicious breakfast to fuel their energy, the children embarked on an exciting day full of adventures.
“It was important to us to offer the children not just supervision, but a day filled with fun and variety. At the same time, we wanted to support our employees by alleviating their childcare concerns,” explained Franziska Lang from the HR department. “The smiles on the children’s faces and the relief of the parents are our greatest reward.”
The first workshop block began after breakfast, running from 10 to 12. There was something for everyone:
The children had the chance to try new things and let their imaginations run wild, making this part of the day both educational and entertaining.
At midday, the children enjoyed a tasty meal in our cafeteria. This was a relaxed opportunity to recharge, make new friends, and share stories about their adventures so far. The shared meal fostered connection and set the stage for even more fun.
The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the post-lunch workplace tour. Curious and excited, the children visited their parents’ workstations, gaining a unique glimpse into where their parents work and what happens behind the scenes at Memmert.
“For both children and parents, this was a special moment,” shared Franziska Lang. “It strengthened their bond and reinforced our values of family and unity here at Memmert.”
The excitement didn’t end there. From 2 to 4 pm, the children dove into a second block of activities. They got creative again, played games, and tackled new challenges in sports and tech. The atmosphere was filled with laughter and the joy of shared experiences.
This day demonstrated just how valuable a family-friendly work environment can be. Parents could focus on their work, knowing their children were in safe hands, while the kids enjoyed a thrilling day of fun, creativity, and learning.
“The childcare on the Day of Repentance and Prayer reflects our commitment to social responsibility at Memmert. We deeply care about the happiness of our employees and are delighted to support their well-being,” concluded Franziska Lang.
It was a successful day for the children, parents, and Memmert – and we look forward to many more events that highlight the importance of family and satisfaction in our workplace culture.
The childcare initiative on the Day of Repentance and Prayer was a resounding success. With heart, dedication, and fun, we created a day that showed our employees and their families: Memmert is more than just a workplace – Memmert is family.
