The aim of measures to reconcile professional, personal and family life, in any and every organization, is to ensure that people are successful in three areas of their lives. The evidence gathered reveals that supporting employees in their efforts to balance work with personal and family life is not about “kindness”. Achieving this balance is in the interests of everyone involved because it has a positive impact on productivity, attraction of talent, motivation and retention of the workforce.
efr – Entidade Familiarmente Responsável (Responsible Family Entity) certification is promoted by the Fundação Másfamilia in order to respond to the current socio-labour context which is characteried by flexibility, competitiveness and commitment. To implement the efr management model, organizations can be guided by the efr 1000 family of standards, and in particular by the efr 1000-1: requirements for implementation within large and medium-sized organizations as well as the efr 1000-2: requirements for small organizations.
APCER is a partner of the Fundação Másfamilia for efr certification.
