EnglishBusiness has been a proud bearer of the city of Hamburg\u2019s Family Seal (<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hamburg.de\/familiensiegel\/117316\/start\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Familiensiegel<\/a><\/em>) for more than 12 years. The Family Seal is awarded by the Hamburg Alliance for Families (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hamburg.de\/familienallianz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Allianz f\u00fcr Familien<\/em><\/a>) and is an initiative of the Hamburg Senate, the Chamber of Commerce and the Chamber of Crafts. Its goal is to continue developing the city so it becomes even more attractive for families \u2013 and to ensure that its citizens recognise the value and importance of family. At the same time, the city emphasises that women and men with children, or other relations in their care, are themselves skilled workers who are desperately needed by Hamburg\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of competitions and certificates throughout Germany that promote family-friendly personnel policies. However, the costs and administrative efforts they require result in relatively few small and mid-size companies becoming certified.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2007, the Alliance for Families has awarded the Hamburg Family Seal in a bid to recognise the advantages of company policies that support employee efforts to combine career opportunities with family challenges. In 2019, there were 374 Family Seal companies with more than 35,000 employees.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>60 percent of employees work for mid-size and small companies<\/h2>\n<p>In Hamburg, around 60 percent of employees work for mid-size and small companies like EnglishBusiness. \u00a0Companies know that employees in family-friendly situations are more satisfied, call in sick less frequently, come back to work more quickly after parental leave and remain loyal to the company longer.<\/p>\n<p>Hamburg\u2019s Senator for Labor, Social Affairs, Family and Integration Dr Melanie Leonhard has said: \u201cThe Hamburg Family Seal awards are a wonderful initiative! The alliance partners have collaborated successfully for 15 years. The city supports conditions that allow parents to reconcile families with jobs. The companies that receive this award provide young families and other caregiving employees with innovative and clever solutions so they can combine their work with their family lives. I hope that even more companies will join these role models.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The alliance considers family-friendly work policies on parental leave (and return from parental leave), flexible working hours (full\/part-time), remote working options and, recently, whether companies demonstrated flexibility during the lockdown, like EnglishBusiness did. Soon after the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, EnglishBusiness reconfigured its working model to make it possible for staff to work from home, and the company plans to continue to offer a blended home-based\/office-based model into the future. Peter List, Board member of EnglishBusiness says, \u201cWe believe that working arrangements come in all shapes and sizes.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kghq78dt-d0beab5181e65331c268fec185a9d4dd\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-kghq78dt-d0beab5181e65331c268fec185a9d4dd{\nheight:30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-kghq78dt-d0beab5181e65331c268fec185a9d4dd hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_image '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-jw2823qo-bb428c1b790b5a8372b7a01e45e030f9\">\n.avia-image-container.av-jw2823qo-bb428c1b790b5a8372b7a01e45e030f9 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-jw2823qo-bb428c1b790b5a8372b7a01e45e030f9 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-jw2823qo-bb428c1b790b5a8372b7a01e45e030f9 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_textblock '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image-9563 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-9563 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/englishbusiness.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Familiensiegel_kids.jpg\" alt='' title='Familiensiegel_kids'  height=\"400\" width=\"700\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/englishbusiness.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Familiensiegel_kids.jpg 700w, https:\/\/englishbusiness.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Familiensiegel_kids-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/englishbusiness.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Familiensiegel_kids-450x257.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kh23x0id-35d08ad6551c42c7c054bc07cce12d86\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-kh23x0id-35d08ad6551c42c7c054bc07cce12d86 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:9px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-kh23x0id-35d08ad6551c42c7c054bc07cce12d86 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Photo credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/Do1GQljlNk8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun BCX0 SCXW129893944\">Steven Libralon<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kghq78dt-d0beab5181e65331c268fec185a9d4dd\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-kghq78dt-d0beab5181e65331c268fec185a9d4dd{\nheight:30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-kghq78dt-d0beab5181e65331c268fec185a9d4dd hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-15  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_hr '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kghq78dt-d0beab5181e65331c268fec185a9d4dd\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-kghq78dt-d0beab5181e65331c268fec185a9d4dd{\nheight:30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-kghq78dt-d0beab5181e65331c268fec185a9d4dd hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-16  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-jw2840sd-a46ab5df0baa4ba1772e8ac5ed70f824 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2>The importance of remote work<\/h2>\n<p>Since the beginning of the pandemic, it has become even more essential that employees \u2013 and not just families with children at home \u2013 have a viable option to work from home if possible and necessary.<\/p>\n<p>The McKinsey Global Institute published an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/featured-insights\/future-of-work\/the-future-of-work-after-covid-19\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">insight<\/a> on the future of flexible work in February 2021. Here is an excerpt:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Perhaps the most obvious impact of COVID-19 on the labor force is the dramatic increase in employees working remotely. To determine how extensively remote work might persist after the pandemic, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/featured-insights\/future-of-work\/whats-next-for-remote-work-an-analysis-of-2000-tasks-800-jobs-and-nine-countries\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">we analyzed its potential<\/a>\u00a0across more than 2,000 tasks used in some 800 occupations in the eight focus countries. Considering only remote work that can be done without a loss of productivity, we find that about 20 to 25 percent of the workforces in advanced economies could work from home between three and five days a week. This represents four to five times more remote work than before the pandemic and could prompt a large change in the geography of work, as individuals and companies shift out of large cities into suburbs and small cities. We found that some work that technically can be done remotely is best done in person. Negotiations, critical business decisions, brainstorming sessions, providing sensitive feedback and onboarding new employees are examples of activities that may lose some effectiveness when done remotely.<\/p>\n<p>Some companies are already planning to shift to flexible workspaces after positive experiences with remote work during the pandemic, a move that will reduce the overall space they need and bring fewer workers into offices each day. The scale of workforce transitions set off by COVID-19\u2019s influence on labour trends increases the urgency for businesses and policymakers to take steps to support additional training and education programs for workers. Companies and governments exhibited extraordinary flexibility and adaptability in responding to the pandemic with purpose and innovation that they might also harness to retool the workforce in ways that point to a brighter future of work.<\/p>\n<p>Businesses can start with a granular analysis of what work can be done remotely by focusing on the tasks involved rather than whole jobs. &#8230; Remote work also offers companies the opportunity to enrich their diversity by tapping workers who, for family and other reasons, were unable to relocate to the superstar cities where talent, capital and opportunities concentrated before the pandemic.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kghq78dt-d0beab5181e65331c268fec185a9d4dd\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-kghq78dt-d0beab5181e65331c268fec185a9d4dd{\nheight:30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-kghq78dt-d0beab5181e65331c268fec185a9d4dd hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-18  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_image '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-jw2823qo-d4075a8bcdba22bbaf36dc4e224f02ed\">\n.avia-image-container.av-jw2823qo-d4075a8bcdba22bbaf36dc4e224f02ed img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-jw2823qo-d4075a8bcdba22bbaf36dc4e224f02ed .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-jw2823qo-d4075a8bcdba22bbaf36dc4e224f02ed av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-19  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_textblock '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image-9564 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-9564 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/englishbusiness.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Familiensiegel_ABC.png\" alt='' title='Familiensiegel_ABC'  height=\"400\" width=\"700\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/englishbusiness.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Familiensiegel_ABC.png 700w, https:\/\/englishbusiness.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Familiensiegel_ABC-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/englishbusiness.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Familiensiegel_ABC-450x257.png 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kh23x0id-35d08ad6551c42c7c054bc07cce12d86\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-kh23x0id-35d08ad6551c42c7c054bc07cce12d86 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:9px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-kh23x0id-35d08ad6551c42c7c054bc07cce12d86 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Photo credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/OyCl7Y4y0Bk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun BCX0 SCXW129893944\">Element5 Digital<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kghq78dt-d0beab5181e65331c268fec185a9d4dd\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-kghq78dt-d0beab5181e65331c268fec185a9d4dd{\nheight:30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-kghq78dt-d0beab5181e65331c268fec185a9d4dd hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-21  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-jw2840sd-a46ab5df0baa4ba1772e8ac5ed70f824 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2>Remote work and virtual meetings<\/h2>\n<p>Remote work and virtual meetings are likely to continue.
