NORMA Group assists its employees with nursing relatives

Maintal, Germany, September 7, 2016 - NORMA Group, a global market leader
in engineered joining technology, has signed the Charta Vereinbarkeit von
Beruf und Pflege (Charter on Reconciling Work and Care). On September 6,
2016, the Hessian Minister of Social Affairs and Integration, Stefan
Grüttner, handed over the instrument of accession at the Frankfurt Haus der
Wirtschaft.

"We are pleased that NORMA Group offers its employees help in reconciling
their professions with caring for relatives," said Stefan Grüttner in
welcoming NORMA Group as a new member. The Hessian initiative involving
politics and business is unique in Germany. Some 130 companies that are
committed to a nursing-sensitive personnel policy have already signed the
Charter. "The employers thus send a clear signal that they want to
contribute to eliminating the taboo surrounding care and communicate openly
on the topic inside their companies," Minister Grüttner said.

"By signing the Charter, we acknowledge that caregivers assume a special
responsibility. As an employer, we want to offer our employees support in
dealing with this particular situation and are thus also responding to
changing demands that accompany demographic change. This is the only way we
will be able to attract professionals that our company needs and employ
them over the long term," said Werner Deggim, CEO of NORMA Group.

Several employees of NORMA Group were trained to become Company Care
Guides. They are there to assist colleagues who care for family members as
contacts. Advice is given confidentially, quickly and in an informal
manner. The Care Guides provide an overview of the most important steps in
caring for others and provide addresses of the relevant contact points both
inside and outside the company.

"Beruf und Pflege vereinbaren" (Reconciling Work and Care) is an initiative
of the Hessian Ministry of Social Affairs and Integration, the AOK - The
health insurance company in Hesse, berufundfamilie Service GmbH and the
Training Institute of the Hessian Economy. Its goal is for the relatives of
those in need of care in Hesse to better reconcile work and care. Among
other aspects, company Care Guides are trained. The initiative is supported
by the Hessian Ministry of Social Affairs and Integration and the European
Social Fund.
