Family and Working from Home
In the current situation, many staff members continue to work from home. Those caring for children or dependent relatives face particularly difficult challenges. Schools and childcare centers are either closed or offering emergency services only. This means that not only does work need to be done from home but children need to be taken care of or homeschooled or other caregiving obligations need to be met. How to manage it all?
What strategies and support services are there at the moment for staff members with family obligations? This page provides necessary information and an overview of current events and activities related to the topic.
The Family Office also gathers information on its coronavirus page, where you can find further tips about working from home while caring for a family. We have maintained this page since the beginning of the pandemic, and the links and tips may help you better manage your daily working life.
We continually update and supplement the information.
