SBB provides various support offers: our Work Smart system lets you work anywhere and plan your time flexibly. Our Kidz Care initiative helps you organise and finance childcare outside the family. We also offer 18 weeks’ maternity leave and 20 paid days of holiday for fathers. Want to take three months of unpaid parental leave? That’s also an option at SBB. You can also find out more about our support offers on our family and career page.

Children at the interview.

Unforeseen circumstances are part of everyday life. So we make sure career-family balance starts right from the interview stage: if your childcare for the interview is cancelled at short notice, we will organise a replacement. This is thanks to our partnership with Profawo.

Work Smart provides career-family balance by enabling flexible and mobile ways of working. As long as your career profile allows it, you can set your own working hours and place of work: work from home, at different SBB locations, when visiting customers or on the move. That means you can do your job efficiently and save resources.

With Kidz Care, we help parents organise and finance childcare outside of the family. Kidz Care means up to 90 per cent of childcare costs are covered, depending on your income. 

All our staff can take three months’ unpaid parental leave before their child’s sixth birthday.
