Career at thyssenkrupp | Corporate culture | Work safety | Every day we take care of many things: we take care of our family, our friends, our pets, our jobs. But when do we actually take the time to care for ourselves? To raise awareness for this problem, the International Self Care Day was launched in 2011. It has since then been celebrated annually on July 24, a date that symbolizes that the benefits of self-care are experienced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
