Fredagskunskap Theme: "Family-friendly workplaces - what's in it for us?"
February 24, 2023 @ 8:30 am - 10:00 am
Let's run a favourite again! Now with an even bigger window of opportunity for greater inclusion, gender equality and a sustainable working life. Get inspired about Family Smart Keys that can transform the working life and life as a whole for your employees.
"Never before has the work-family combination been the focus of so many employees and employers as during and after the pandemic - simultaneously and everywhere. Whatever the family constellation, there is a growing recognition of how everyone benefits from a family-friendly working life. This trend and new research is influencing how employers think going forward. We now see a historic opportunity to accelerate the development of workplaces that attract, include, engage and retain employees through the different stages of life. And where ALL skills, including those developed outside the workplace, are harnessed. With children, elderly parents, friends and everyone you care about."
/Tiina Bruno, founder of the concept FamSmart at work/Familjesmart på jobbet and CEO of Föräldrasmart Sverige AB
