Abstract

Today more than ever there is a strong relationship between the presence of a family-responsible culture and the effective development of a company. It involves regarding an employee as something more than an individual subject that expects to be rewarded with salary and training. These policies bear in mind the new profile of their staff, men and women, for whom the system of priorities has changed and the family occupies an important place. Personal private life is a further variant of the concept of quality of life and the magic word is ‘balance’. If this is achieved, as has already been said, the company will benefit: higher productivity for the time worked, loyalty, retention of the best talent and creation branding the job market.1
