Nowadays, organisations pay particular attention to care of the employees and their families so that they can more easily reconcile work and family. Young people and job seekers also place more emphasis on “family-friendly” organisations or organisations that offer measures for facilitating the coordination of work and family life because the jobs of today require more time from the employees, but they still have to focus on their family and children at the same time.
The aim of the thesis was therefore to examine the coordination of work and family life, analyse the Family Friendly Enterprise (DPP) and Investors in People (IIP) certificates based on a conducted research, the aim of which was to analyse the coordination of work and family life along with the options for introducing the DPP and IIP certificates at Belimed d.o.o.
The theoretical part is based on a review of Slovenian and foreign literature. The research was conducted through an interview with the Head of Human Resources about reconciling work and family life.
It was found that the vast majority of the respondents have no children or dependants, whereas those who have family and children believe that their career aspirations or needs related to work that cannot be postponed had no effect on their decision to start a family. Nevertheless, most of them believe they pay too little attention to their families and children due to work obligations.
In order to better reconcile work and family life at Belimed d.o.o., we propose the introduction of the DPP certificate because the participants in the research listed the measures needed to coordinate work and family life, which is enabled under this certificate.
