In 2003, CSEM distinguished itself by being the first private company in the Canton of Neuchâtel to open a daycare facility for its staff. Today, this heartwarming initiative has evolved to embrace the wider community. Jeronima Huguenin, who has been a steadfast part of the daycare since its inception, shared her reflections:
"CSEM had already set itself apart as a trailblazer in family-friendly polices when it opened “Les Tournesols” daycare in 2003. Today, the company proudly holds the ‘equal salary’ label, a testament to its unwavering commitment to gender equality.”
Since its establishment “Les Tournesols” has enabled over 50 families to balance their professional careers and family life by provided providing a safe and nurturing environment for children.
