How many times has CargoSoft been awarded the “Excellent Family Friendly” quality seal and what does the certificate mean to you?
We have been participating in this campaign since 2015. For us, the assessment by the audit is an objective confirmation of our commitment to the compatibility of work, family and private life. In this way, we document to the outside world how we at CargoSoft create the framework conditions for a good work-life balance that suit our corporate culture and our employees. However, we do not take any measures for the sake of the seal. Everything we do in this area would also take place without a seal.
Which offers are particularly well received by employees?
The Job-Rad, a bicycle leasing model, is very popular. Thanks to this offer, more and more of our colleagues are pedaling their way between home and office in an environmentally friendly and healthy way. The fact that we have opened our offices to well-behaved pets makes it easier to organize everyday life, especially for the dog owners among us. The regular workshops and activities on the subject of health are also very popular. We are now all looking forward to our “Multispace”. This is our new room concept, specially developed for the hybrid working that we live and breathe. On view – from spring 2024.
In your opinion, is it worthwhile for companies to apply for the “Excellent Family-Friendly” seal and how does the certification process work?
In any case – provided that an honest commitment to the compatibility of family and career is practiced in the company concerned. Companies in and around Bremen can take part. Certification is possible every two years. In the first year, target agreements are defined, the implementation of which is reviewed one year later in an audit and documented in an interim report. The point of contact is the RKW Service Center Career and Family, which bundles all services and offers relating to the “Excellent family-friendly” quality seal.
