When the laptop and sandwich collide, Wiesbaden demonstrates that work and family unity reign supreme
City authorities once more win the "Employer Offering Family-Friendly Conditions" certification.
In the heart of Hesse, Wiesbaden yet again flaunts its "Family-Friendly Employer" badge, bestowed upon it by the state. This recognition isn't just a title, but a testament to the city's commitment to a modern, employee-centric work environment.
The lure of future-focused initiatives in Wiesbaden is strong, as the city administration champions juggling family and career without compromise. Flexible working hours, remote work, job sharing, and sabbaticals mar Wiesbaden's employment landscape, ensuring employee satisfaction and enabling productive work-life balance. Caregivers are supported with targeted resources and counseling, while practical holiday care solutions keep family obligations at bay.
Family-friendliness as a winning strategy
Mayor Gert-Uwe Mende stresses the needle-sharp importance of work-family congruence, not merely for social reasons but as a vital tactic in the war for top talent. "Nurturing the harmony of work and family is not just altruistic or important, but imperative for attracting the skilled workforce." The battle for brains is fierce, and those who embody family-friendliness with authenticity stand out from the crowd.
Credibility in care, recognized since 2014
The "Family-Friendly Employer" seal has been handed out by Hesse's Ministry of the Interior since 2014, initially to departments and now to municipalities. Upon first receiving the award in 2021 and subsequent recertification in 2025, Wiesbaden has impressed with its well-rounded offerings that meet rigorous evaluations.
Passion for care, proven in practice
The re-certification shows that family-friendliness is not just window dressing. It's a principle Wiesbaden embodies, as performance, career, and caring for loved ones go hand in hand.
