Kern van de disclosure

This disclosure asks an organisation to explain how it supports work-life balance for its own workforce in practice, not just in policy. The focus is on the arrangements, benefits, and working practices that help people manage work alongside personal and family responsibilities, and on whether these are available and used across the workforce in a consistent way.

In practical terms, the reporting should look beyond a few well-known sites or flagship teams and consider coverage across the organisation’s own operations. The key question is whether work-life balance measures are embedded broadly, how they differ by location, role, or contract type if relevant, and whether there are any material gaps between what is offered and what employees can actually access.

Voorbereiding

Belangrijkste voor te bereiden informatie

Voorbereidingsveld Wat vast te leggen Aanwijzing voor bewijs Eigenaar
Employee entitlement share Capture the percentage of employees who are entitled to the item described in the source clause, using the same employee population and period basis used for the underlying workforce data. HR policy or benefits rules, plus the workforce count used for the reporting period and the calculation showing the numerator and denominator. HR / Total rewards
+ Subelementen van S1-14 tonen (LRA-werkchecklist)

Hoe u dit voorbereidt

Start by fixing the employee population you will use for this metric, so the count is based on one clearly defined group rather than mixed sources or ad hoc estimates.
Decide which workers are included in the entitlement check, using a consistent rule for who is in scope and who is not, and apply that rule the same way across the reporting period.
Gather the underlying records that show entitlement status, such as HR or payroll evidence, and make sure the source data is complete enough to support the final percentage.
Calculate or compile the reported figure from the evidence, keeping the method simple and traceable so someone else can follow how the percentage was reached.
Record any exclusions, boundary choices, or changes in method, so the reported number can be understood in context and compared with prior periods if needed.
Check the final output against the official source material for ESRS S1:S1-14 and confirm the wording, scope, and calculation approach still match the underlying requirement.

De gegevens opvragen

Request the employee entitlement data from HR

Vertaal de disclosure naar een interne bedrijfsvraag — en pas die daarna aan op het taalgebruik van uw organisatie.

What share of our workforce is covered by our work-life balance entitlement, using the organisation’s own employee categories and reporting cut-off?

Use your organisation’s own wording first, then map it to the disclosure label. For example, ask for the relevant leave, flexibility or time-off entitlement measure in the terms your people team already uses, rather than using framework language in the request.

Zwak verzoek

Please provide the ESRS S1:S1-14 work-life balance data for the disclosure.

Waarom dit misgaat: It uses framework language only, gives no internal definitions, and does not tell the owner which employee groups, systems, dates or calculation basis to use. That makes the response hard to prepare and hard to trace.

Beter verzoek

Please provide the people-team data on which employees are covered by our leave, flexibility or time-off arrangements for the reporting period. Use the categories and system names your team already uses, include the cut-off date, the population in scope, the calculation basis, and any exclusions or assumptions, and return the result as a simple table.

Subject: Data request for work-life balance entitlement reporting

Hi [Name],

Could you please provide the people data we need for our sustainability reporting pack on work-life balance? We are looking for the measure of employees who are covered by the relevant leave, flexibility or time-off arrangement, using the way your team already tracks this internally.

Please send:
- the reporting period and cut-off date used
- the employee population included
- the internal category names you used
- the source system or file used
- the count or percentage, with the basis used for the calculation
- any notes on exclusions, assumptions or data gaps

If helpful, you can return this in the table format below. Please adapt the wording to your own internal terms and check the source records before sign-off.

Thanks,

Methodenotitie

Explain how the workforce was defined, what counted as being covered by the entitlement, and whether the figure is based on headcount, full-time equivalent, or another internal basis used consistently in the report.

Contextnotitie

State what the percentage means in practice for the organisation’s workforce, such as the share of employees who can access the benefit and how broad or limited that coverage is across the business.

Toelichting op schommelingen

If the figure moved materially, describe the operational reason behind the change, such as a workforce expansion, restructuring, or a change in eligibility rules, and note whether the same basis was used in both periods.

We set out the context for the coverage figure so readers can see what it relates to, how we defined the population, and any key boundaries or exclusions we used.An assurer will check that the context is complete and not misleading, and that the figure is not presented without the surrounding explanation needed to understand it.Draft narrative explaining the basis of the figure; internal methodology note; boundary and exclusion decisions; review comments showing the context was checked before publication.
We explained how the figure links to our stated aims, including how current performance compares with any relevant internal goal or milestone.An assurer will probe whether the reported progress is actually supported by the underlying data and whether the comparison point is clearly defined.Target or milestone document; working papers showing the comparison calculation; management review pack; evidence that the same basis was used consistently across the period.
Where the figure changed from the prior year, we described the main reasons for the movement and whether anything material affected comparability.An assurer will test whether the change explanation is complete, balanced, and supported by records rather than being a narrative added after the fact.Prior-period and current-period calculations; variance analysis; notes on changes in policy, workforce mix, or reporting boundary; sign-off evidence for the explanation.
We documented the calculation approach we used for the figure, including the data inputs, any formulas or conversion steps, and the basis for key judgements.An assurer will look for whether the method is reproducible and whether the calculation basis matches the data actually used.Calculation workbook; methodology paper; source-system extracts; reviewer checks on formulas, mappings, and any manual adjustments.
If a business combination or disposal affected the figure or the progress narrative, we identified that effect separately so readers can see what changed because of the transaction.An assurer will check whether transaction effects were isolated properly and whether the reported trend is distorted by the change in group structure.Transaction accounting papers; consolidation boundary changes; before-and-after population reconciliations; management assessment of the impact on the figure and any related target movement.
We recorded the estimation approach, the main assumptions we relied on, and the limits of the data where the figure was not taken directly from a complete source.An assurer will probe whether estimates are reasonable, whether assumptions are disclosed clearly, and whether limitations could materially affect the result.Estimation memo; assumption log; sensitivity or reasonableness checks; evidence of approval for any judgement calls; notes on data gaps or incomplete records.

Veelvoorkomende hiaten

Fouten om te vermijden bij het verzamelen van gegevens

Wrong data ownerChasing the policy team or HR generalists instead of the payroll, benefits, or local people-ops owner leaves the figure unconfirmed in the system that actually holds it.
Framework language, not business languageAsking for the metric in ESRS terms rather than the organisation’s own leave or flexibility labels makes teams search the wrong report and miss the source record.
Scope left vagueCollecting the number without fixing which employee groups, countries, or contracts are in scope leads to a figure that cannot be tied back to the intended population.

Waar vaak een professionele afweging nodig is

Acquisitions and disposals during the yearDecide whether to report only the people in the business at the year end or to include bought-in and sold-on teams for the period they were in scope, and explain the cut-off used so readers can see how the headcount base moved.
Different local leave rules across countriesWhere countries give different time-off entitlements or use different employment categories, set out the local rule used for each population and explain any grouping or simplification used to make the group-wide figure.
Workers near the boundary of the workforceState how you treated people whose status is not straightforward, such as agency staff, contractors, interns, or part-time staff, and explain whether they were included or left out of the count.

Voorbeelden

Illustratieve voorbeelden

Synthetisch, geschreven door LRA — niet afkomstig uit een bedrijfsrapport en geen tekst uit een standaard.

Illustrative (synthetic) example — consumer goods manufacturing

*Illustrative only: we have prepared this synthetic example to show how we might report this point.* In our workforce of 2,400 employees, 2,160 are covered by the leave arrangements we provide, which is 90% of our employees.
- The remaining 240 employees are not yet covered under the same leave terms.
- We would use the same approach to show the share of our people who can access this benefit in future reporting periods.

This example shows how to state the share of employees who can access the leave arrangement, using a simple headcount and a matching percentage.

Illustrative (synthetic) example — logistics and transport

*Illustrative only: we have prepared this synthetic example to show how we might report this point.* Our group employs 850 people, and 765 of them are eligible for the leave entitlement we offer, equal to 90% of our workforce.
- The other 85 employees are outside the current eligibility scope.
- We would present the same type of calculation each period so readers can see how broad the coverage is across our staff.

This example shows how to express the proportion of employees who are eligible for the leave arrangement, with figures that are internally consistent.

Echte gepubliceerde rapporten
Raben Group
Ground Transportation — Trucking · Netherlands / Poland · 2025
Rapport openen →
Raben Group's Sustainability Report 2025 references ESRS disclosures related to its own workforce and workers in the value chain, including risks of forced labour and child labour (pp. 98-99). The report also mentions stakeholder interests and views in relation to these topics (pp. 93-94) and addresses equal treatment and opportunities within its workforce (p. 59). However, no direct narrative or detailed quotable evidence specifically addressing these disclosures was found in the report.
Snam S.p.A.
Gas Utilities · Italy · 2025
Rapport openen →
Snam S.p.A.'s 2025 Annual Report provides a clear disclosure that 100% of its employees are entitled to family-related leave, as stated on page 370. This indicates full coverage of family-related leave entitlement across the workforce. However, the report does not provide further details on the types of family-related leave or usage rates, leaving some aspects of this disclosure unclear.
Aena S.M.E., S.A.
Air Transportation — Airport Services · Spain · 2025
Rapport openen →
Aena S.M.E., S.A.'s 2025 sustainability report provides data on the percentage of entitled employees who took family-related leave, with figures around 30-35% mentioned on page 224. However, this information is presented in a narrative form without a clear, structured disclosure of the datapoint. Other related aspects, such as occupational diseases disaggregated by gender and social dialogue procedures, are referenced on pages 217, 284, and 310, but the connection to family-related leave remains unclear.

Scenario’s om door te werken

A group of office staff can use flexible start and finish times, but the HR draft only describes the policy for full-time employees. Part-time staff and people on fixed-term contracts are not mentioned anywhere in the draft.

VShould the preparer check whether the disclosure covers who is entitled to the arrangement across the workforce, rather than only describing the policy for one employee group?
Modelantwoord tonen →

The people team has counted employees who can request compressed hours, but the draft note says only that the company offers a family-friendly policy. It does not say how many employees are actually entitled to use it.

VShould the preparer turn the narrative into a clear statement about the proportion of employees who have that entitlement?
Modelantwoord tonen →

A business unit has different work-life arrangements in different countries: some staff can take flexible hours, while others can use a formal leave option. The draft disclosure combines everything into one sentence without separating the entitlement basis.

VShould the preparer check that the final wording still shows the entitlement rate clearly, even if the arrangements differ by location or employee group?
Modelantwoord tonen →

The draft report says the organisation supports balance between work and personal life, and it includes examples such as hybrid working and extra leave. However, no one has checked whether the underlying HR data can support the stated entitlement percentage.

VBefore sign-off, should the preparer verify that the reported share of entitled employees is backed by the underlying employee records?
