European Employers’ Forum for Work Life Balance

8-9 September 2014, Helsinki, Finland

The Confederation of Family Organisations in the European Union (COFACE), in collaboration with its Finnish member Väestöliitto, The Family Federation of Finland, is organising the European Employers’ Forum for Work Life Balance in Helsinki on 8-9 September 2014.

The forum will bring together employers from the private, public and third sectors to discuss family friendly workplace measures for offering a better work-life balance for their employees. It will specifically feature work-life balance measures that have already demonstrated concrete outcomes in increasing company productivity, employee satisfaction, responsibility and ownership as well as gender equality.

The Forum will also explore the following policy areas: parental leave, company childcare, care services, family friendly working hours, work and care, sustainable work practices, fatherhood at working places, workplace options, job-sharing, etc.

Robert Anderson, Head of Eurofound’s Living Conditions and Quality of Life Unit, will participate in the conference.
