An increasing number of young people find it difficult to balance personal life on one hand and their professional careers on the other. Employers are becoming more aware of the responsibilities they have towards their employees and the importance of finding a work-life balance. Adopting different measures in this field brings about synergistic effects for all the parties involved in the work process.
The purpose of the thesis was to determine the effects of the introduction of the Family Friendly Enterprise Certificate in a selected organization based on the opinions of its employees. Furthermore, the goal was to analyse the effects of the implemented measures and to determine how the employees perceived and evaluated the implementation of the family friendly measures.
The results of the study show that the family friendly measures were well received. They bring moderate benefits and positive consequences for the employees who are directly affected by the measures, while the employees who do not directly benefit from the adopted measures do not oppose or even weakly support the measures. At the same time, the introduction of the Family Friendly Enterprise Certificate did not bring significant changes for the organization and its employees, which indicates that the organization's culture was already in favour of the employees.
In order for the organization to continue to be effective at achieving work-life balance in the future, which reduces stress and increases the quality of life of its employees, it should continue to operate in the already established way, e.g. by maintaining already implemented family friendly measures and possibly introducing additional care and support measures for the employees who care for elderly family members in need.
