MicroControl is introducing a new working time structure. Starting October, we will implement a four-day workweek for a trial period of six months. Our offices will remain closed on Fridays during this time.<\/p>\n

We made this decision after careful consideration and in close liaison with the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences who will support us in this trial.<\/p>\n

The main goal of these restructuring measures is to increase job satisfaction and wellbeing of our employees. We believe that a better work-life balance and more leisure time will help our teams to be more productive and creative.<\/p>\n

The change will certainly have an impact on you as our customers. During the trial period, we are therefore working particularly closely with our customers, suppliers and employees to ensure that the change runs smoothly for everyone involved. We remain committed to providing you with the best service and have already organized our customer service teams to meet your needs as usual.<\/p>\n

Your opinion is important to us and your feedback is particularly valuable. So, we will be very happy to receive your comments, questions and concerns regarding the matter.<\/p>\n

We look forward to the experience of what this new working time structure will bring to our teams and the impact it will have on our company.<\/p>\n
