We received the “Family-friendly company” award at a festive ceremony this evening. A group of initiators consisting of the Agentur Mark, the Märkischer Arbeitgeberverband, the SIHK and the Wirtschaftsförderung Ennepe-Ruhr GmbH presented the award to our HR Manager Sabrina Ernst on behalf of the company.
In February, we applied for the award with a video. With success! Thanks to the authentic reports on how our employees define family friendliness in our company, we were able to convince the jury. The video shows that there is not only the father-mother-child(ren) constellation and the resulting challenges, but also many other cases in which individual solutions are found for working hours, place of work or special phases of life. Incidentally, we have 280 (!) individual working time models!
The effort was worth it: the jury was particularly impressed by our regular employee appraisals, the right to mobile working on a maximum of two days a week - at least in our administration department - and the strong consideration given by our management to personal family matters.
