Guillaume Richard
OUI CARE
Oui Care offers home services to facilitate the daily lives of millions of employees in France - babysitting, gardening, childcare, assistance for people with reduced mobility, etc. The company has been committed to women from the outset with the creation of the Oui Care Solidarity Fund (it has entrusted the presidency to a woman). Its objective is to fight for violence against women and against gender inequality. Because at Oui Care 90% of the employees are women! And for Guillaume Richard, it is essential that his employees can flourish in a company whose values he shares.
The company has also conducted with its brand O2 Care Services, a major survey on "The French and the mental load" conducted in 2018 in partnership with IPSOS. It showed that this syndrome affected 8 out of 10 women!
