Audits

Audit work and family

The berufundfamilie audit is a personnel management instrument that enables a structured and systematic examination of the topic of reconciling family and work in companies. The aim is to implement a sustainable, family-conscious personnel policy and to be more competitive. The audit records the status quo of the measures already offered in the company to improve the compatibility of family and work. Based on the current status, targeted measures for improvement and further development are developed. These will be implemented in the audit process over the next 3 years. The participating companies are awarded the (basic) audit berufundfamilie (basic) certificate by the Federal Minister for Economic Affairs, Family and Youth .

Work and family audit for health and care facilities

The berufundfamilie audit for health and care facilities was specially developed to meet the special needs of the health sector. The process basically corresponds to that of the berufundfamilie audit .
