Family-friendly employer
Family-friendly employers not only pay attractive salaries, they also voluntarily provide many other benefits.
Within the framework of the project 'Family-friendly companies are more successful', organised by the canton of Aargau, the benefits we voluntarily provide were considered both generous and family-friendly.
