Could there be a Top Employer for Working Families in your industry?
Working Families has launched its annual benchmark survey and awards - Top Employers for Working Families – and invites UK employers of all sizes and from all sectors to enter.
Following the success of the 2010 Benchmark and Awards, Working Families has again worked with the Institute for Employment Studies to produce a timely and robust benchmark survey that will help employers to develop new insight and a practical action plan for integrating family friendly policy.
Employers are invited to complete the benchmark survey to find out exactly how family friendly they are. All entrants will receive a 25 page aggregated benchmark report against which to compare their own data. In completing the survey, top scoring entrants will have a chance to be in the final Top 10 or Top 30 A-Z list of Top Employers for Working Families. Optional Special Award categories for 2011 are: Best for Flexibility; Best for Carers; Best for Mothers; Best for Fathers; Best for Career Progression; Best for Recruitment and Innovation and Engagement.
Sarah Jackson OBE, Chief Executive of Working Families said:
“Top Employers for Working Families celebrates the best of the best in family friendly and flexible working policy. The unique benchmark survey will help employers to develop excellent people policy and practice, based on an inclusive approach to their employees and support for the full diversity of their lives outside work, of their responsibilities to their wider families and other dependents. I look forward to reading about inspiring work life policies in this year’s entries.”
The official list of Top Employers for Working Families and Special Award winners will be announced during Working Families National Work Life Week in September 2011.
