Employers and work-life balance = a win-win situation
We develop services and solutions that take the strain off families and support employers.
Balancing family and work is more important today than ever before. Working people are often faced with the question of how to reconcile their career goals with their family responsibilities. Family members who provide essential care – and often even nursing care – frequently find themselves stretched to their limits.
At profawo, we understand these challenges and offer companies tailor-made support solutions – so that their employees can strike a balance between all their roles in their professional and private lives.
We are convinced that if employers and employees are willing and stand together, work-life balance can be achieved.
Investing in work-life balance pays off.
The demands of the modern workplace are increasing – as is the desire to spend quality time with family. But why is achieving a work-life balance so important?
It is not idealism, but sound business reasons that lead companies to invest in work-life balance. Here are the main ones:
-
Attracting and retaining specialist personnel
A family-friendly environment significantly enhances a company’s appeal as an employer. This is a key competitive advantage, particularly at a time when there is a shortage of skilled workers. -
Reduce fluctuations
Employees are more likely to stay with the company if they can achieve a good work-life balance. This saves on recruitment and induction costs. -
Boost productivity and motivation
People who have fewer personal conflicts tend to work with greater focus and commitment. This has a direct impact on performance and quality. -
Fewer absences
Flexible working arrangements or childcare services (e.g. emergency nannies) help to minimise last-minute absences and stressful situations.
Striking the right balance means less stress at home and at work. Children and employers alike benefit from the emotional stability of well-organised parents. Meanwhile, parents themselves are able to flourish both professionally and personally. If an employer actively supports their staff during parental leave, they will be rewarded with loyalty and productivity.
In short: by strengthening your employer brand, family-friendly policies boost your image and reputation. Your investment pays for itself through lower staff turnover costs, higher productivity and excellent staff retention. A return on investment that can be seen at every level of the company.
