We all face many challenges every day and have to combine many aspects of our lives. That's why we want to create a working environment for our employees in which professional and personal priorities have enough space.
That's what we call life balance. Our holistic package of measures includes elements for sustainability, family life, sport and mobility. Regional and individual needs of employees are also taken into account. Entirely in keeping with diversity.

Flexible work
More time for you
Legal regulations are all well and good, but we go one step further and offer flexible working time models that fit with our life balance approach.
Hybrid work
Flexitime model
37.5 hours per week
Home office starter package
Additional days off (e.g., for new additions to the family, Social Active Day, training days)
I like working from home because it gives me a lot of flexibility and promotes life balance tremendously. At the same time, I enjoy the time in the office with my colleagues. It's all about the mix.

Health and sport
A point of strength
Exercise not only makes you fit, but also strengthens mental health and is therefore simply part of a healthy life balance. That's why we offer an all-round feel-good package: "Keep Moving", for example, is an internal package of measures of workplace health promotion to promote health, mobility and sustainability.

I just need sport to balance out my daily work. That's why I think it's great that VIG supports us here. Personally, I use different fitness courses and I'm always there for every company run – always in a VIG sports shirt, of course!

It would be short-sighted to think that maintaining the ability to work is something purely private and individual.
The quality of cooperation between employees and the company becomes evident in times of stress. We have therefore introduced an employee assistance programme with coaching and counselling. This is how we promote the life balance of our employees.

Of course I take care of my physical and mental well-being.
That is why I appreciate the attention paid here to ergonomic workplace design and preventive health care. Even physiotherapy or massages are provided.
I got myself a new bike for the VIG bike campaign and saved myself a lot. I think it's really great that my employer has initiated this campaign in the interest of sustainability.

Family life
For the benefit of the young and old alike
We are all part of a family – in whatever form that may be. The needs are individual and diverse. We want to help ensure that our employees have enough time for their families and don't miss out on anything, especially with children.
