Abstract: Abstract When Commerzbank started taking a closer look at the concerns of women working in the bank in the late eighties, it soon became obvious that the dual role women faced as bank employees and mothers presented a great obstacle to their careers. To help solve this problem the concept of the “corporate childcare center” was developed. Then, in 1998, the first childcare facility was ready to be opened in cooperation with pme Familienservice. Being the first corporation in Germany to offer such an innovative service aimed at supporting the work-life-balance, Commerzbank was not able to draw on the experiences of other companies. For this reason it was decided that the activities would be supervised and scientifically evaluated from the start and over an extended period.
