Tiivistelmä
This thesis was commissioned by DHL-Express for the research of possibilities and effect of maternity or parental leave in the corporate world. The company is based in southern Finland, in Vantaa and managing mainly Import and Export. There are 4 department areas: Marketing, HR, Sales and Finance.
It is important that companies support workers more when returning to working life after nine months of maternity leave. According to the study, workers have challenges to combine working life and career. The aim of the Semi-structured interview and research have showed the challenges for employees to combine working life and their career. What kind of opportunities do companies have to provide and support their workers? What are the effects? The results have showed that employees lack support from company’s side. They miss solutions such as job-sharing, Nanny support or flexible working time.
Through the research of a Semi-structured interview, academic literature, and the main topic issued by the commissioners, a framework was created based on a comparation of two European countries, Germany and Finland.
The finding suggests that in order to support the maternity leave system, the company DHL-Express should give employees several opportunities to support their economic situation during their parental leave, such us Job-sharing, Nanny support or flexible working hours. The proofreading of the document is highly recommended to be able to measure the satisfaction of the employees.
