Social responsibility Establishing a work / life balance 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. This includes how we manage holiday allowance and flexitime, which is possible by our working hours tracking system that logs time worked down to the minute. The system makes it easy for our employees to fit in last-minute appointments with tradespeople or other private commitments into their working day, although they are of course responsible for making sure that any time away does not hinder their duties in the workplace. This naturally also applies to leave for family reasons, which all Blum employees are entitled to take in accordance with legal provisions. The self-assessment process (which forms part of the Blum Path) provides employees with an opportunity to choose when and how they take leave taken for family reasons as well as their subsequent return to work. The figures below are testament to our efforts. This commitment to job security and equal access to professional development opportunities are important components of our family-friendly work culture. ➔ GRI 401-3 Establishing a work / life balance 2024 / 2025 Percentage of employees entitled to take leave for family reasons 100 % Female (%) 100 % Male (%) 100 % Percentage of eligible employees who have taken leave for family reasons. 3.3 % Female (%) 10.3 % Male (%) 2.1 % The t ab l e ab ove shows f i gures for the Aus t r ian si tes.
