Prazdroj Was Awarded Certificate of the Audit Family and Employment

Today, Ivan Balogh, Director of Human Resources for Plzeňský Prazdroj, accepted the completed Certificate of the Audit Family and Employment from the hands of Deputy Minister for Social and Family Policies Zuzana Jentschke Stőcklova. Plzeňský Prazdroj defended the award of the Certificate at the beginning of this year after fulfilling its action plan accepted at the beginning of the audit in 2012.

„It is my utmost pleasure to be accepting this certificate. It declares that we truly want to harmonise work and the personal lives of our employees. It is no secret that a happy employee is loyal and most effective. It is every employer’s dream. Our activities do not stop with the awarding of this certificate. We have much to do and I am convinced that Plzeňský Prazdroj will conquer all tasks successfully, even in the future,“ said Ivan Balogh, Director of Human Resources for Plzeňský Prazdroj, after accepting the certificate.

The action plan of the Audit Family and Employment included many activities and covered many fields, such as the company’s ethics, working hours, work distribution, personal development, etc.

Thanks to the audit, pro-family policies became a part of regular meetings of social dialog and supporting of pro-family policies found its place in a new working order. Now, it is possible to work from home where the character of the work allows it, a so-called home office. Flexible contracts were implemented (alternate employment agreements, shorter working hours, etc.) The Audit Family and Employment also aimed at the communication with parents on maternity leave, their return to work and other activities demonstrating pro-family orientation of the company.

The award of the certificate does not mean the ending of such activities in Prazdroj. Now, it is important to activate the policies and incorporate them fully into the company’s operations, keep them up and develop them.
