The results of this analysis concluded that around 46% of employees who voluntarily leave his position at a company do to get to combine their work with the rest of the aspects of his life outside. Flexibilisation of working time, provision of services (child care, gyms), encouraging telework or extend maternity leave are some of the tools that allow an effective conciliation in Spanish companies. The incorporation of women into the labour market, the unequal sharing of responsibilities between men and women in the private sphere, the perpetuation of the division of labour based on gender and a lack of community support services negatively affect equality of opportunity in employment and social balance, to a family, to business productivity and a the quality of life. In some multinational companies usually exist conciliation family and professional culture, likewise entrepreneurs with long-term vision instill that culture among employees, however it is not the most common. The rigidity of the Spanish labour market nor invited to encourage the reconciliation. Our salary increases dependent on the CPI, the dismissals are expensive and there are many professionals who take refuge in the generosity of the law to work as little as possible.

However professionals who govern your day to day depending on schedules, who see the company as punishment, that his sole motivation is the wage at the end of month is very difficult to reconcile work and family life. The conciliation on many occasions is a personal attitude and individual choice, explains Susana Saura. Companies must take steps to ensure the reconciliation of their workers.
