Family-friendliness

Family-friendliness is often an important one for many employees than, for example, salary or prestige. Employer behaviour during family emergencies, working time adjustment or home office options to make room for care and care for children or loved ones play an important role. With social responsibility and humanity, a company creates employee loyalty and corresponding loyalty.

For companies, family-friendliness is more than just for parents at the approval of leave to take account of the holiday season long. Examples such as childcare on-premises, special conditions for employees with children, active support in crisis situations or even just the thinking that the family is an important part of the corporate value of man, make modern Companies out. The only way employees and especially professionals nowadays find and hold in the company.

Questions and answers

What must be observed if flexible working hours?

First, check with your employee why a different working time model is desired. What are the compatibility problems with the existing working time model? Set realistic goals. Then you decide which approaches are conceivable. In this first concept, you should estimate the time and cost. Discuss the concept and possible consequences. You can now complement and customize the concept. A test phase can make sense depending on the size of the company. Communicate the new concept to your employees before it is actually implemented. How did the proposal come about, what goals are being pursued with it, what exactly comes to your workforce and how do they benefit from it.
