Towards a Corporate Culture of Care
Monday 15 January 2007
Your company will benefit from being an attractive work place. Good personnel policies will serve the company well both in order to recruit the best employees and in order to keep them satisfied so that they stay longer with the company. In a market with strong competition for the best skilled and the most motivated employees, companies with a good gender perspective, family friendly policies and personnel policies will be the winners.
