Childcare

Demand-oriented, professional childcare for working parents

Promoting the reconciliation of work and family is an important part of sustainable family policy. Reliable, high-quality childcare is key to success when it comes to attracting motivated and qualified employees. More and more companies realize that family-oriented personnel policy is an essential distinguishing feature for increasing employer attractiveness and thus a decisive factor for future economic success. Furthermore, childcare facilities help reduce absenteeism and increase corporate productivity, since working parents are more concentrated and productive when they know that their children are taken good, reliable care of.
Family-oriented personnel policy can only be sustainable if companies adjust to the changing demographic and economic conditions.
