For us, reconciling work and family life not only means supporting the compatibility of work and employees with children, but also the compatibility of work and caring for relatives in need of care. Against the backdrop of demographic change, this will become an increasingly important issue in the coming years, also for KIT.
As more than two thirds of those in need of care are looked after by relatives at home and this represents an enormous double burden, especially for those in employment, it is our task as an employer to support our employees as much as possible in this area.
