We commented in a previous post that Nuria Chinchilla (IESE professor in the area of People and Organizations Management) is one of the greatest experts in work-family conciliation in Spain, where according to her report, the 93% of companies lack a policy for that purpose.
She has published a book in Ariel Publishing House with the suggestive title of "Owners of our destiny. How to reconcile professional, family and personal life".
Given that this is one of the worst issues resolved in our society and the nefarious consequences that leads to level personal (stress, dissatisfaction, etc.),Social (parenting without bond, children without reference figures, dehumanization, etc.) and labor (absenteeism, worse productivity, etc.) I consider it essential that books like this reach all our politicians and businessmen to get to work.
In this interesting interview of the newspaper of Aragon to Nuria Chinchilla, she defends that to reconcile is not a luxury but a necessity, something that I share totally and that is also amply demonstrated by the experts:to better conditions of conciliation, greater fidelity towards the company and better performance.
I have chosen these 2 of your answers because they reflect great truths:
"The company is designed by men and for men of the last century. We have to rethink work if we don't want to be late for some problems such as low birth rates, school failures ... Everything has to do with the fact that you are not at home and do not live together. In addition, more and more self-centered people come to the company, unable to team up. There is a triangle between family, company and society. The one who does not live as a family cannot take this experience to the company or to the citizens. In addition, from the business perspective we are moving towards talent shortages and some sectors do not find trained personnel. Therefore, conciliation is not a luxury, it is a necessity. "
"To women, who find it difficult to reconcile, I would say that do not leave other areas of life because of work. The one that says she doesn't have time to have a partner or children is making a mistake. The later you do it, the less time you have and it's all more complicated. It is best to be brave and not close to life and have a family. The important thing is to be balanced, not a monorail. There are women who with 35 years face real dramas. "
The famous child psychologist and sleep expert Rosa Jové also says it in her lectures: the labor conciliation in Spain is in the time of the caverns.
It's time for modernity to reach Spain beyond mobile telephony!
