Social responsibility Parental leave At Blum, we believe it is important to cater for our employees’ personal life plans and help them find the right balance between their professional and private lives. Parental leave is an important part of this and is available to all Blum employees in line with the relevant legislation. The self-assessment process (which forms part of the Blum Path) provides employees with an important opportunity to shape their personal plan for both their parental leave and their subsequent return to work. During the reporting period, 187 employees – 107 women and 80 men – took a period of parental leave. 95.2% of these female employees and 100% of these male employees subsequently returned to work. These figures are testament to the efforts we make as a business to ensure that we are as well prepared as possible for an employee’s return to work and that the transition is as smooth as possible. This commitment to job security and equal access to professional development opportunities are important components of our family-friendly work culture. ➔ GRI 401-3 * Calculation method: The return-to-work rate is the total number of employers that returned to work following parental leave as a percentage of the total number of employees whose return to work following parental leave had been agreed. * The retention rate is the total number of employees that were still employed 12 months after their return to work following parental leave as a percentage of the total number of employees that returned to work following parental leave during previous reporting periods.
