Abstract

[ES] Para lograr una buena dinámica en la regulación de la conciliación de la vida profesional y familiar resulta vital el papel a desempeñar por parte de empresas y administraciones públicas, siendo estos los principales agentes partícipes y con mayor responsabilidad de cara al adecuado equilibrio entre ambos roles de los trabajadores, tengan o no cargas familiares. El legislador ha tratado de dar respuesta a las necesidades detectadas mediante el RDL 5/2023, de 28 de junio, si bien en este tablero entran en juego más elementos, como el teletrabajo y el derecho a la desconexión digital, máxime dado el avance vertiginoso de las nuevas tecnologías, siendo así imprescindible lograr la adecuada ponderación o equilibrio de todos ellos en pro de una mejor calidad de vida.[EN] The role played by companies and public administrations is vital to achieve a good dynamic in regulating the reconciliation of professional and family life. These are the main participants and bear the greatest responsibility in ensuring the proper balance between both roles of workers, whether or not they have family responsibilities. The legislator has sought to respond to the identified needs through Royal Decree –Law 5/2023 of June 28th. However, more elements come into play in this scenario, such as teleworking and the right to digital disconnection, especially given the rapid advancement of new technologies. It is therefore essential to achieve a proper weighting or balance of all these factors in pursuit of a better quality of life.S
