Commitment to Women’s Well-Being and Advancement

Here at Aché, in addition to benefits such as an extended maternity leave of 180 days (also for mothers who have decided to adopt), informative lectures, corporate daycare and a diversity committee, we recently had an enriching debate with the sales team leadership to understand how the company can help foster female development. We also offer free medical tests for our employees, focused on women's health, and have prepared several initiatives for Women's Month, such as quick massage, registration for the exclusive women's race Girl Power and a talk on how to accelerate gender equality with guest Margareth Goldenberg", says Andreia Vitoriano, Director of People and Culture at Aché Pharmaceutical Laboratories. A Commitment to Work-Life Balance

The corporate daycare is a learning facility available at the workplace itself, allowing mothers to be more involved in their children's development and spend more quality time with them, as it reduces commuting time", claims Andreia Vitoriano, Director of People and Culture at Aché Pharmaceutical Laboratories.

"I love this benefit and have turned down other job offers because they didn’t provide it. The daycare allows us to bring our child with us, visit and breastfeed during lunchtime, in addition to offering a wonderful structure, with a dedicated nurse and a team that is always attentive to the children’s health issues.  It’s such a relief to be able to work knowing that our little ones are being well cared for and close to us", states Julia Dutra Braz, Intellectual Property Coordinator - Corporate Affairs at Aché Pharmaceutical Laboratories, mother of a 16-year-old girl and a 9-month-old boy.
