Introducing dormakaba’s Work/Life Balance Month: October 2024
At dormakaba, we believe that maintaining a healthy work/life balance is crucial to the well-being and productivity of our employees. As we move into October, we are proud to announce our Work/Life Balance Month, a dedicated period where we will highlight the importance of balancing professional commitments with personal fulfilment.
Why Work/Life Balance Matters at dormakaba
At the heart of dormakaba’s culture is the belief that our employees are our greatest asset. We understand that when our team members can effectively balance their work with personal time, they are more engaged, motivated, and happier. By supporting this balance, we not only encourage a positive work environment but also drive innovation and success in everything we do.
During October, we will take an in-depth look at our company policies designed to support a harmonious work/life balance. These policies are built to accommodate the diverse needs of our workforce, recognising that flexibility and understanding are key to long-term success for both the company and its employees.
A Closer Look at dormakaba’s Work/Life Balance Policy
Our commitment to work/life balance is more than just a statement. We have embedded this philosophy into our policies, ensuring that our team members have the resources and flexibility they need to thrive both at work and in their personal lives. Throughout October, we will explore the key elements of our policy, such as:
Flexible Working Hours:
To accommodate individual schedules and personal commitments, we offer a range of flexible working options, including remote work, adjusted hours, and hybrid models.
Wellness Initiatives:
Our wellness initiatives aim to support physical and mental health, providing access to fitness resources, mental health support, and well-being workshops.
Parental Leave & Family Support:
Understanding the demands of family life, we offer comprehensive parental leave to assist with childcare and other responsibilities.
Time Off & Recharge Days:
We recognise the importance of rest and personal time, which is why we encourage our employees to take regular breaks, including the option to take additional days off throughout the year.
Practical Examples of Work/Life Balance at dormakaba
To demonstrate how these policies work in practice, we will be sharing real-life examples from across our departments. From Marketing to Engineering, Sales to Logistics, dormakaba employees will share how they balance their professional duties with their personal lives. These stories will show the range of ways our policies have positively impacted the day-to-day lives of our team members.
Whether it's adjusting working hours to accommodate school runs, remote working to manage personal projects, or taking advantage of wellness initiatives to maintain mental well-being, our employees’ experiences highlight how dormakaba makes work/life balance achievable and rewarding.
Employee Testimonials: Real Stories, Real Impact
In addition to policy overviews and practical examples, we will be featuring employee testimonials throughout October. These firsthand accounts will give our workforce the opportunity to share how dormakaba’s commitment to work/life balance has impacted their personal and professional growth.
By sharing these testimonials, we aim to inspire others to find their own balance and to remind our entire team that they are supported in achieving a fulfilling work/life integration.
Join Us in Celebrating Work/Life Balance Month
We invite all dormakaba employees to engage with our Work/Life Balance Month this October. This is an opportunity for everyone to reflect on their own balance, share their stories, and learn how our policies can help them better manage their work and personal lives. By continuing this dialogue, we hope to create a culture where work/life balance is more than just a goal—it’s a reality for every member of our team.
Together, we can continue to build a workplace that values and supports every employee, both in and outside of work.
