When personal life fuels professional performance

What if employee well-being also started at home?

In a fast-evolving work environment, employee well-being has become a strategic priority for companies. We hear a lot about flexible offices, mindfulness, and adapted schedules. But what about everything that happens outside the office?

When everyday life spills into the workplace

Childcare, support for elderly parents, admin tasks, home logistics, cleaning, gardening, pet care... The list of personal responsibilities is long. And too often, it spills over into the workday.

According to a Swiss study by HES-SO (2022), over 60% of employees struggle to balance professional duties with personal obligations. The consequences? Decreased focus, increased fatigue, and even higher absenteeism.

Companies have a role to play

Some forward-thinking companies have already realized this: providing support services at home isn’t a luxury — it’s an investment in long-term performance.

Testimonial from Sophie M., HR Director at a tech company in Lausanne:

“We partnered with a home services provider. Our employees now have access to help with housework, childcare, and even administrative support for their loved ones. It takes a huge mental load off their shoulders, and we’ve seen a clear improvement in engagement and availability at work.”

Offering family concierge services, homecare, or admin support means giving your employees valuable time back — and helping them maintain a healthy personal balance without guilt.
