Background
Work organisation, predictable hours, remote working or job sharing: several levers help to balance work and family life. The Canton of Jura does not yet have an overview of these practices in its businesses. It wants to understand their needs and difficulties before proposing solutions.
The key points
On 14 November 2026, the Canton of Jura launched a survey of all Jura businesses on balancing work and family life. It aims to identify good practice and understand employers’ needs.
The survey is led by the Office for Gender Equality, with the support of the Economy and Employment Department and the Jura Chamber of Commerce and Industry. It is being carried out by the Pro Familia association.
Companies of all sizes and sectors can respond until 22 January 2027. According to the canton, conditions adapted to the different stages of life make recruitment easier, retain staff and preserve skills.
What it means for businesses
- Jura businesses : they are invited to describe their practices and needs regarding work-family balance.
- Employers looking for staff : the overview should help them recruit and retain staff, according to the canton.
What's next
- Participation open until 22 January 2027.
