Alares participates in the event: Companies and Work-Life Balance. Success Stories

With the aim of reflecting on the importance of promoting work–life balance in Spanish businesses in response to a social change largely driven by women’s entry into the workforce, APD and the Xunta de Galicia’s General Secretariat for Equality organized the event “Businesses and Work–Life Balance: Success Stories,” in which Grupo Alares participated. Promoting equality and work–life balance policies not only meets the needs of employees and managers, but also helps organizations attract and retain talent. For this reason, organizations that support work–life balance and equal opportunities are developing a new organizational culture that provides added value. Through its participation in this event, Grupo Alares® explained the Alares® Family Assistance Program and how it serves as an essential tool for institutions and companies to ensure quality of life and help their employees balance family, personal, and professional responsibilities. There is no doubt that maintaining a balance between work and family is essential for promoting employee happiness, as well as facilitating women’s integration into the workforce and promoting equal opportunities. However, it is necessary to change the existing corporate culture, which tends to view work–life balance as working less, when in reality it means working differently. In contrast to this view, more and more people take into account, when looking for or changing jobs, whether a company offers programs that enable them to improve their quality of life.
