Celebrating Father’s Day at Verestro

The traditional roles of fathers have evolved significantly over the years, with more and more dads actively participating in parenting and household responsibilities. As we strive for gender equality in society, it becomes crucial for workplaces to adapt and create an open, flexible, and inclusive company culture that supports fathers. At Verestro, we celebrate fathers not only on Father’s Day. We focus on fostering a dad-positive culture every day.

Embracing the Changing Role of Fathers

At Verestro , we celebrate the changing dynamics of fatherhood. We acknowledge that modern fathers desire to actively participate in their children's lives and require support from their workplaces to do so. By recognizing and appreciating the evolving roles of fathers, we cultivate an environment that values and empowers them to excel both as parents and professionals.

Cultivating Work-Life Balance

Verestro places great importance on work-life balance for all employees, including fathers. We offer flexible work arrangements that accommodate the unique needs of fathers, allowing them to be present for important family moments while fulfilling their professional responsibilities. Whether through remote or hybrid work options or flexible hours, we empower fathers to actively engage in their children's lives without compromising their careers.

Comprehensive Parental Leave Policies

Verestro understands that the early stages of fatherhood are crucial for bonding with newborns and supporting partners. Our employees can take parental leaves that provide them with sufficient time off to embrace their new role. By offering paid paternity leave, we enable fathers to actively participate in caregiving responsibilities from the very beginning, fostering stronger family bonds and nurturing a positive work-life integration.

Managerial Support

At Verestro, we understand that managerial support is crucial for creating a dad-positive culture. Our managers and team leaders understand the challenges fathers may encounter and the importance of supporting their work-life balance. By leading by example and fostering an empathetic approach, we create an inclusive environment where fathers feel supported and valued.

Offering a Broad Range of Benefits

Our benefits platform gives employees a choice of benefits to support their family life. They can choose from activities for children and entire families. Additionally, we offer health insurance for employees' family members on very attractive terms. Our employees and their families can be provided with top-level private health care in Poland. By empowering our employees to make choices that align with their unique needs, we create an environment where both our employees and their families thrive.

Eliminating Bias and Stereotypes

At Verestro, we actively challenge gender stereotypes and biases. We promote a culture of inclusivity that recognizes and appreciates the contributions of mothers, fathers, singles - all people regardless of their skin colour, nationality, religion or belief, gender, and sexual orientation. Gender-neutral language, equal opportunities for career growth, and avoiding assumptions about mothers’ and fathers' availability and commitment are all fundamental principles guiding our workplace culture. We believe that breaking down these barriers is essential for creating an environment where every employee can thrive and succeed.

Fostering an open, flexible, and inclusive company culture benefits not only our employees but also the organization as a whole. By providing flexible options, we demonstrate our commitment to supporting parents and enabling them to prioritize their family responsibilities while excelling in their professional endeavors. In this modern era, where fathers actively participate in parenting, organizations that prioritize and support fathers will undoubtedly attract and retain top talent, enhancing their competitive edge in the market. It's time for companies to recognize the changing dynamics of fatherhood and create an environment where every employee can thrive both personally and professionally.
