Reconciling family and work

Do you enjoy your work, but also value a fulfilling personal life? This is easy to understand! After all, what really counts in life is the perfect balance.

Therefore, for many years we at Lenord + Bauer have been committed to reconciling family and work. Together with our employees' council, we took a very clear position with regard to this subject when, in 1996, we concluded our agreement regarding flexible operating and working hours. Since then, all our employees have a flex time account that allows them to choose individual work hours within the general time of operation* and in line with department-specific requirements.

Our employees can switch between different work time models. In addition, if required, we also offer them part-time workplaces. Naturally, operational needs must be taken into account in these cases. However, experience has shown that mutually satisfactory compromises can always be found.

Additional benefits:

• 30 days annual vacation – unfortunately nowadays not a matter of course
  and
• a reduction in the weekly work time by up to two hours without reducing salaries when firmly defined target returns are achieved.

Young parents in particular appreciate the flexibility to adapt their work time to the changes in their family circumstances. This option is also welcomed by employees who provide care for family members or have time-consuming hobbies.
