Future compatibility study
What strengthens mothers and fathers ensures corporate success

In summer 2025, we surveyed more than 1,000 working mothers and fathers from companies with over 1,000 employees as part of a representative FORSA study. The aim was to make their different perspectives and needs visible and to derive specific recommendations for action for companies, politicians and society.

"Work-life balance is a key success factor for companies today. Only those who practice family-friendly management and offer tailored benefits can retain and motivate employees in the long term." – Dr. Daniel Erler, Head of Corporate Communications, pme Familienservice
