Improving family life
The uninterrupted schedule is not Iberdrola’s only initiative to improve the quality of life and professional excellence of its employees. In its Sustainable Human Capital Management and Anti-Harassment Policy, applicable to the entire group, the company is committed to “the implementation of work-life balance measures that promote respect for the personal and family lives of its professionals and which make it possible for a healthier balance to be found between the latter and the work responsibilities of both women and men”. One of the measures is the flexible reduction of the working day, which allows employees to work up to five hours less per day until the child turns one without affecting the employee’s fixed salary. In addition, the company helps its employees go on leave, keeping their job for up to four years while they are looking after their children or members of their family.
These initiatives are included in Iberdrola’s Work-life balance policy manual, which includes up to 70 different practices, such as payment of 100 % of the employee’s salary during the maternity and paternity leave period or paid leave for a 15-day period before the expected date of birth.
