HD Hyundai Heavy Industries is expanding childcare support to in-house partner companies to help address the low birthrate issue.

On the 14th, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries announced that it will convert its existing "Happy Boat Workplace Daycare Center" into a "Win-Win Joint Workplace Daycare Center," expanding the enrollment target from children of group company employees to also include children of employees from in-house partner companies.

The enrollment target for the Win-Win Joint Workplace Daycare Center is children aged 3 to 5 years old, and it will begin operation in March next year. Any employee with children in the relevant age group from a total of 344 in-house partner companies of HD Hyundai Heavy Industries and HD Hyundai Group companies can apply.

Located near the main gate of HD Hyundai Heavy Industries in Seobu-dong, Dong-gu, the Happy Boat Workplace Daycare Center was opened by HD Hyundai Heavy Industries in 2022. It has a total floor area of 2,863㎡ across three floors.

In addition to general childcare rooms, it is equipped with five themed indoor playrooms and an eco-friendly outdoor playground, making it one of the best facilities nationwide. Professional childcare staff from specialized childcare institutions provide high-quality childcare services.

An HD Hyundai Heavy Industries official stated, "With the low birthrate issue being a national challenge, we expect the Win-Win Joint Workplace Daycare Center to significantly ease the childcare burden for employees of in-house partner companies," adding, "We will continue to strive for mutual growth with our in-house partner companies."
