Kids are part of the
Audi family.
The partnership with the miedelHaus is only
one of many that Audi has arranged with
child care centers. The Company also helps
facilitate contacts to long-term nursing
care facilities. It’s another way Audi helps
its employees with their personal needs,
giving them important breathing space.
Greater fl exibility and an optimal balance
between work and private life will be deci-
sive factors in tomorrow’s workplace. In
the midst of a sweeping cultural shift, Audi
is reorienting its work environment. That’s
because the Company knows innovation
doesn’t emerge from a -to- routine. And
people can only create “Vorsprung durch
Technik” if their batteries are fully charged.
Boris Meiners loves spending time with
his daughters Matilda and Calotta.
Audi has arranged partnerships with several
daycare centers in its e orts to support families. Nicola
Priemer and her children also make use of this service.

The miedelHaus in Ingolstadt o ers fl exible
short-term care for children of employees.
Boris Meiners, Head of Brand Development,
is the father of two daughters. He relies
on the miedelHaus in Ingolstadt. “The whole
family was in France for two years, until
April . When we returned to Germany it
was hard to fi nd a place in daycare for Calotta ,
our younger daughter,” Meiners recalls. It
didn’t take long for him to fi nd out about
the miedelHaus. The center o ers fl exible,
short-term daycare, which can be booked
online the evening before. “When we fi rst
got back it wasn’t time for the new kinder-
garten year to start yet, and the center
fi lled the gap, giving us time to fi nd a place
for our daughter,” he says. “Since then we
sometimes bring our girls to the miedel-
Haus during vacation.”
