Effective Approaches to the Care of the Employees on Parental Leave
Kostrůnková, Barbora
This diploma thesis focuses on identifying the most suitable model of care for em-ployees on parental leave which would bring benefits both to the company and towards employees in European countris. Thesis is built on research within six member countries, Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Sweden, Finland and Netherlands, and companies on those markets. The main aim is to find a recommendation for employee's care which is based on Scope planning model, along with the cost's analyses of the model. As a recommendation to ease the work-life balance while employee is on parental leave, company can establish its own childcare centre within the company's premises and offer the place for children to its employees. If the situation of such an establishment is not manageable for the company, the model of financial contribution to the private childcare centres can be implemented. In Czech Republic, where the situation is least developed, the most suitable model would be to allow flexible work time schedules become regular, along with the financial contribution to private childcare. Using the case study the benefits were proven. The company would lower its cost for employee and at the same time for stand-in employees the difficult employed people could be hired. The model is of course favourable for the employee on parental leave as well as he/she can come to work earlier and help the family budget. All of the models should be based on internal company's analyses and then customized to company's preferences and conditions to serve the purpose of better care of employees on parental leave. At the same time, national governments should be helpful in the process and lead the progress. The perfect example is the Nordic states where within the labour legislative the work-life balance issues are covered in order to embrace the current trend.
