HOCHTIEF promotes a better life/work balance with innovative, tailor-made measures. HOCHTIEF employees already receive assistance with childcare. A whole range of programs is designed to raise awareness of various health issues. Harmonious reintegration into the workplace after lengthy absences is also part of HOCHTIEF's family-conscious approach to personnel issues. This commitment garnered the "Work and Family" ("berufundfamilie") certificate from the non-profit Hertie Foundation. Over the next few years we plan more programs around elder care, additional part-time models, emergency care for children and better information for employees out on parental leave.
