Staff

«We are aware of how much staff have to accomplish in this day and age. Accordingly, they deserve to be shown considerable appreciation – not only with regard to their work, but also their personal sphere. I believe that many companies would run in a more humane and nevertheless more efficient manner if more attention were to be paid to promoting the compatibility of family and career. »
