E&P CEO's assessment of this topic:

The article “Making work fulfilling: Why work-life balance is an illusion” makes an important point: In times of skilled labor shortages and demographic change, it is not enough to create pressure to fulfill duties through performance targets and threats. It is just as crucial to make work meaningful and desirable.

“When employees enjoy their work, when they feel appreciated in the company and see real opportunities for development, they remain committed and do not seek fulfillment outside of work,” explains expert Charlotte Eblinger-Mitterlechner, Managing Director of Eblinger & Partner.

She adds: “In a world where social security is taken for granted, people want more than just to secure their income. They strive for meaning, belonging, and personal growth. Companies that offer individual solutions and take the needs of their teams seriously will not only attract talent more quickly, but also retain them in the long term and motivate them to perform at their best.”



Our team sends you many summer greetings!

We continue to work intensively for our customers during the warm months, but at the same time we rejoice with our colleagues over well-deserved time off and sunny days.

This reveals very different sides of summer: at the padel tournament in Mallorca, father and son played as a team, combining sport and time together, while others experienced Venice and Extremadura in Badajoz on a cultural trip. The journey continued with a hike in Alpbach and a trip to Cornwall, where the tranquility and landscape were impressive. At Grundlsee, there were picnics in nature, and in Apulia, sun, food, and the Italian way of life were enjoyed.

We look forward to hearing your summer stories and wish everyone who is still traveling relaxing days with many wonderful moments!
