Flexible working at Zühlke GDC Europe - The choice is yours!

Life plans changed?

Enjoy flexibility in managing your time because, at Zühlke, work-life integration matters.

At Zühlke's European Global Delivery Centers (GDC), in Portugal, Bulgaria and Serbia, we place flexibility and autonomy at our core. You can adjust your work the way it works best for you and your team!

When the time comes, return to work fresher than ever and full of creative ideas.

You can also choose the best of both worlds and have your work hours reduced or condensed. The choice is yours!

Condense your working hours and work 40 hours fewer days per week. You don’t have to reduce your working hours; you can compress them into a four-day working week. While we are passionate and invested in our client’s projects, we respect our team’s time off.

"During my free day usually run errands I've been postponing because they require a day off. Besides this, I use my time outside during the day, taking some me-time while everybody else is busy. I sometimes work a couple of hours in the morning to reduce the hours I need to work during the rest of the weeks, but I have my calendar empty, so I can focus and get something done. I take Mondays off to be in sync with the rest of my teammates."

Unlimited recharge allows you to manage your time off just the way you like and for as long as you like it. We launched an experiment at the beginning of 2023, which allows 35 volunteers to take as many paid days off as they wish without impacting projects and colleagues, with no need to compensate for this time and with all their benefits retained. We want to hear from our team and clients first, and if the outcome is positive, this experiment may decide future actions.

"Unlimited Recharge allows me to be present for my family, take some time off to rest, fill up my batteries, or deal with unforeseen personal issues without adjusting my programmed vacations because it is so flexible. This brings me great peace of mind knowing I can take a day or two off now, knowing I’ll not be compromising any plans in the future."
