Bürkert gives employees like Mirjam Schneider plenty of freedom so that they can find the right balance between career and family. However, she is also given the responsibility of organising and structuring her work in such a way that she contributes to achieving the corporate goals. The many concrete family-friendly measures, such as flexible working hours and the option of working from home, have proven to be very helpful. However, Bürkert’s philosophy of treating its employees as people and supporting them in all the different phases of life is crucial here.
