Work-life balance
Combining career and family
ZF takes the compatibility of career and family seriously. The company’s family-oriented programs were assessed by the work-life balance agency, berufundfamilie® in 2006. The results have enabled ZF to introduce additional family-friendly policies and provisions.
Career and family are not contradictory at ZF
In 2006, ZF successfully conducted the berufundfamilie® audit.
Gender roles and expectations have changed. Today’s men and women pursue equal career opportunities. At the same time, a rich and fulfilling private and family life plays a key part in a balanced lifestyle. The compatibility of career and family plays a key role in this respect. Career and family no longer need be contradictory. Mothers want to continue working and fathers like to fulfill their role and share responsibility for their children and family. As a technology leader, ZF relies on highly qualified, well trained professionals. With its family-friendly human resources policies, the company aims to attract qualified employees and gain their loyalty.
Family-friendly human resources policies
ZF actively supports its employees in leading a rich and fulfilling career and family life. The company offers local positions, including telecommuting jobs, various flextime models and childcare including site-specific vacation and temporary care. The company also supports parents returning to work.
