Work-life balance
Work-life balance designation has been using since the 70s of the 20th century, and this is what our company Family and Job strives for. This designation is nowadays common primarily in the context of corporate social responsibility (CSR). Those employers who try to adapt to its employees in the family life issue (flexible working hours, company kindergartens or other benefits) generally contribute to the common good as well as they also increase its attractiveness and prestige. This provides a greater chance to get qualified and loyal employees and succeed among others competitors.
There are the most common benefits within work-life balance that companies frequently provide:
- Childcare facilities or contributions to these facilities (nurseries, children’s groups)
- flexible working hours and home-office,
- support for men and women on maternity and parental leave,
- possibility to care for the elderly and sick family members,
