Family-friendly is fit for the future

Work and family, Audit, Compact

Or "Why the berufundfamilie audit is more than just a certificate". Work-life balance is no longer a "nice-to-have", but a decisive factor for the future viability of companies.

If you want to attract and retain talent today, you have to offer more than just salary and career paths - namely a genuine understanding of the realities of life. This is precisely where the state-recognised "berufundfamilie" audit comes in.

Structured path to practising family friendliness

The audit is a certified process that supports companies, public institutions and non-profit organisations in establishing or further developing a family-friendly HR policy. This is not just about flexible working hours or home office arrangements, but about a holistic approach: How is parenthood practised in the company? Are there plans for returning to work after parental leave? Are family carers supported?

The process begins with an inventory and leads to specific target agreements and a three-year implementation phase - accompanied by experienced auditors. The end result is not just a certificate, but a genuine cultural change.

Win-win for companies and employees

The advantages are obvious: by practising family friendliness, companies increase their attractiveness as an employer, improve employee loyalty and promote a climate of cooperation. At the same time, employees benefit from a better work-life balance, more flexibility and a workplace that takes their stage of life into account.

For smaller companies in particular, the KOMPAKT audit offers a simplified version - including financial support.

#Already genial when work fits into life

As an initiative that advocates more humanity and a sense of purpose in working life, we say: That's already genial.
Not just because it's the right thing to do - but because it works. Because real appreciation is not shown in words, but in structures.
