Companies are complaining about a shortage of skilled workers. Employee retention and motivation leave much to be desired. Absenteeism, mental illnesses, and burnout cost the German economy billions each year. Could companies counteract this with the help of work-life balance measures? For example, by strengthening their employer brand and attracting applicants? By increasing employee motivation and retention? Do work-life balance measures really mean additional costs for companies? In this book, Johanna Giese advocates for a look at the opportunities and risks associated with corporate work-life balance measures. She examines the costs and benefits for companies and employees, encouraging both sides to question existing structures. The dissolving separation between private and professional life raises the question of how different life phases can be integrated.
