In 2023, Schreiner Group was again recognized with the prestigious “Erfolgreich.Familienfreundlich” (Successful. Family-Friendly) award. The family-owned company sets standards for the compatibility of job and family with flexible working time models, childcare, and other supporting measures.

For its exemplary family-friendly HR policy, Schreiner Group received the coveted “Erfolgreich.Familienfreundlich” (Successful.Family-Friendly) award. The company that previously, in 2016, was among the recipients of the accolade was recognized for its actions promoting the compatibility of job and family by the Bavarian Ministry for Family, Labor, and Social Affairs as one of Bavaria’s 20 most family-friendly companies.

The family-conscious working conditions, the service and assistance offerings, and the flexible working time models impressed the jury. The company adjusts working hours individually to the needs of its employees and makes it possible for them to flexibly work from home. In addition, Schreiner Group offers in-house childcare during the first few weeks of the Bavarian summer vacation and assists employees returning to work after parental or caregiver’s leave.

Schreiner Group’s CEO Roland Schreiner emphasizes the importance of family friendliness as an integral component of the organization: “Schreiner Group was founded by my grandparents more than 70 years ago. My father took over the company in the 1970s—today, my mother, at the age of 80, is still working here. Even though we’re more than 1,200 employees today we know exactly that our roots are in the family. Being a family-owned business always means being a family-friendly business.”

The awards ceremony took place in a festive setting at the “Residenz” palace in Munich in June 2023. The accolade was personally presented by Bavarian State Minister for Family, Labor, and Social Affairs Ulrike Scharf, who said, “Our award winners are true ambassadors for family friendliness. Irrespective of their industry and size of their operation, they address the needs of their employees in individual and versatile ways. This strategy is a gain for the entire organization.” In that vein, Schreiner Group is among the companies demonstrating that family friendliness and business success not only go hand in hand—but influence each other.
