#2h4family is Humanites' proven idea for 11 years, to bring people together at work and in families, building a high culture of work and engagement.
It promotes a culture of well-being, where business achieves its goals, and people find meaning! By joining our action – on May 15th, the International Day of Families, you can:
- Shorten your working day by 2 hours. Consider the mode of joining the action: a potential reduction of working time on May 15th or another corresponding date.
- Above all, encourage your team to spend this time with their loved ones, preferably intergenerationally! The main objective of #2h4family is to inspire you and your employees to dedicate this day to their families. Let’s foster good conversation, get to know each other, or search together for your Family’s roots. Let this time strengthen intergenerational bonds in families, the work environment, and our immediate social environment..
- Use our inspirations to suggest several ideas for activities with your Family to your employees!
- Please send us information on the campaign’s implementation in your company: pictures, examples of ideas, and activities you used to enrich the celebrations.
- “2h4family” is a great way to support employees in combining their professional and private roles. It builds a culture where employees are seen as integral human beings and not only human resources.
