「平日も育児に参画したい」…そう考え、平日早めに帰宅したり、育児休職を取得するボッシュの男性従業員も少しずつですが、増えてきました！

先日の記事(goo.gl/49LBJE)でご紹介した「男性の育児参加について」の講演会。その直後に、自身が育児休職を取得したり、そのような部下をもつボッシュの男性従業員も参加して意見交換を行いました。

従業員からは「公園に行くとお母さんたちばかりでとまどう」「育児参画に対して、奥さんはどのような反応でしたか？」など、率直な意見や質問が沢山出てきました！様々な世代や年齢、性別の参加者が活発に発言し、それぞれに新たな発見があり、充実したイベントとなりました。社長のヴォルツと副社長の森川も、皆の体験談を終始笑顔で聞いていました。

「明日からもっと育児に参画しよう！」と刺激を受けている従業員も多数。ボッシュは、育児をするパパを応援し、ダイバーシティ(多様性)を推進していきます！

There has a been an increase in the number of male associates at Bosch who are going home early or taking childcare leave out of a desire to participate in raising their children on weekdays not only weekends.

As we introduced in the previous post (goo.gl/49LBJE) we hold a seminar featuring a lecture on "Man's participation in child caring". Right after the lecture, a panel discussion was held between male associates at Bosch who had taken childcare leave themselves, or who had team members who had done so.

The associates shared many frank opinions and questions such as "When I go to the park there are only moms there, so I feel a bit awkward," "How did your wife react when you took part in childcare?" Participants of different generations, ages, and genders had a lively discussion and everyone made new discoveries. Our executives also enjoyed listening to everyone sharing their experiences.
Many associates felt inspired to start participating more in childcare. It was a very worthwhile event!
