Family support in Brainport Eindhoven

Meet Merve from Turkey, working at Thermo Fisher, and Erik from the Netherlands, working at Eindhoven365, two strangers who came together to discuss family support in the Netherlands.

According to UNICEF, children in the Netherlands are the happiest in the world. And as Merve and Eric discuss, the family support provided in the workplace makes a huge difference, from 'papadag,' maternity leave, how sick days to take care of your kids work, and more. 

In the end, these two strangers realized that while different, they agree on the importance of family support in the workplace and how Brainport Eindhoven is more than just a job in tech.
