Work-Life Balance

Work-life balance is nowadays a strategic issue for organizations since it significantly affects their results through numerous variables such as reputation, CSR and sustainability, commitment, remuneration efficiency, diversity or equal opportunities, and organizational health and well-being (https://www.masfamilia.org/conciliacion/).

EFR measures

(EFR Policy Document No. 3000-1, 2nd Edition, 2021).
