Two of the graduates initiated the event series “RBI Women Forum - Our Future Networks”. The kick-off event
took place in October 2018.
Being family-friendly means enabling employees to find a balance
between work and family life. This is why RBI AG is a partner of the
“Companies for Family” initiative of the Austrian Federal Ministry of
Women, Family and Youth. The topic of returning to work after parental
leave has also been given its own platform. Two information events for
parents on parental leave were held under the title “Stay Connected”
with the aim of helping them to plan their return to work. These events were attended by around 60 people from
RBI AG and its associated companies in Austria.
Improving the ability to reconcile family and work is, for example, also a very important
consideration for Raiffeisen-Leasing GmbH in Austria. The relevant measures include, among
other things, flexible working hours, part-time models or tele-work as well as active parental
leave management. The “berufundfamily” (“work and family”) audit has been conducted
since 2013.
In order to be able to better support employees in their changing needs at different stages of life, RBI AG offers a
corresponding sabbatical program. Several sabbatical models are available, providing various timeframes and
thus an attractive recreational and relaxation model for individuals’ different needs. Any of these sabbatical
models can be further tailored to the individual.
Since 2018, RBI AG and its
subsidiaries Raiffeisen Capital
Management and Valida have
been among the first supporters
of “Fondsfrauen in Österreich”, helping this initiative to
enter the Austrian market. Fondsfrauen is a career
network for women with a focus on asset managers
in the DACH region. Formed in Germany in 2015,
Fondsfrauen is currently supported by 20 companies.
Two major events were held in Vienna in 2018, one
of them at the head office of RBI AG with over 100
participants. RBI AG is represented on the Fondsfrauen
Advisory Council, thereby ensuring that the local
interests of women are represented.
