European Union Work-Life Balance Directive

The European Union Work-Life Balance Directive aims to improve workers' ability to balance their professional and personal lives. It introduces measures like more flexible parental leave for both mothers and fathers, enhanced right to paternity leave, and options for workers to request flexible working arrangements. The goal is to support families, promote gender equality, and help employees better manage their responsibilities at work and home, fostering healthier, more equitable workplaces across EU member states.
