Factory won the Family-Friendly Workplace Award
2011. November 25.
Factory Creative Studio won the Family-Friendly Workplace award following the Golden Brain and The Best Workplace For Women 2010 awards. The creative agency creates a playroom, employs a baby-sitter and grants advisory services for colleagues
Factory Creative Studio took over the prize in the Hungarian Parliament on Friday. The Ministry of National Resources distributed the award and the associated financial support to 19 organizations out of 89 applicants. The ministry advertised the competition in four categories: small businesses, medium-sized businesses, large companies and budgetary institutions - and shared 20 Million Forints among the winners. The largest amount of financial support – 1.4 Million Forints – was awarded to the media-communication agency from Szeged and two more companies.
‘There are all together 27 children at Factory. They are from newborns to university-students and three of our workmates are looking forward to newborns’ – said Ildikó Bíró F., the co-owner of the company. ‘It has always been important for us - at our 11-year-old company - to ensure the well-being of our colleagues. We provide many amenities - besides the excellent work environment - to support their comfort and happiness. In addition to the existing extras - like fruit-day, cake-day, free and unlimited tea- and coffee consumption, massages, cooking school, financial support for bicycle purchases, cultural programs and company parties - we wanted to offer something that will support our workmates’ private lives, something that makes them stronger and helps their family.’
The management of the company has decided to spend the financial support on a baby-sitter who will help out parents during work time and create a playroom for the Factory-kids.
‘Even a speech therapist, a family therapist and a nutritionist will be available for our workmates if necessary’ – commented Enikő Lilla Szénási, the Head of HR. She also noted that the target is the sustainability. Factory would like to continue all of these services even after the financial support has been spent.
