Accessibility statement

Personal assistance

In many cases, when it comes to reconciling work and family life, time is one of the greatest challenges. A great deal can be done here with support in the form of personnel support.

In-house support in the form of division of labour, shorter and flexible working hours, childcare opportunities in the company or measures to keep employees healthy play a major role here. Non-financial measures can mean a significant improvement for the employee and his family.

Numerous counselling centres deal with the issue of family-friendliness. There you will get valuable help from experts on different scenarios.

Questions and answers

What personal support is there for companies?

There are advisory and supporting aids for companies in a wide range of industries and sizes.

In most cases, family-friendly measures are manageable in time. If you cannot bridge the gap with your internal employees, you should look for external personnel as support. Temporary employment or access to external staff often makes more sense than permanent employment.

There are various advisory and support services for companies of all sizes and from all sectors.
