Annual Report 2015

Compatibility of career and family:

re-auditing process

The BfR promotes the compatibility of career and fami-

ly and has been certified as a family friendly employer

by berufundfamilie Service GmbH since 2009. On top

of the compatibility enhancing measures that already

existed (such as flexibility of working hours, parent-child

offices at all locations, further training opportunities for

employees absent for family reasons and part-time work

offers), the option was added in 2015 of taking half-days

of annual leave. The BfR has also been working closely

with a family service provider since 1 July 2015. Emp-

loyees can now make use of additional services, such as

the mediation of regular, emergency and holiday child-

care, as well as consultancy and mediation services for

looking after family members who are in need of care.

Re-auditing and confirmation of the certificate for the

next three years were done in 2015. The success of the

audit confirms the previous efforts of the BfR to create a

family friendly and attractive working environment. We

will be continuing along this path in future.

The BfR supports the

compatibility of career

and family and has

been certified as a

family friendly employer

since 2009.
