Beyond the numbers with Grant Thornton: Listen now
Family Friendly Workplaces set up the National Work + Family Standards to provide benchmarking guidelines for organisations to measure how well they support their employees and families across the following standards: Flexible Work; Parental Leave; Leadership Culture; Family Care; Family Wellbeing and Measurement.
Workplaces need to provide evidence of their achievements over the last two years, including stories from employees who have benefited from flexible work arrangements and family-friendly policies. To achieve a Family Inclusive Workplace Certification, organisations are required to review and evaluate their policies around supporting family and a career, measure the effectiveness of these policies, and how well-equip they prepare their employees with materials and resources to thrive.
Greg Keith, Grant Thornton CEO said: “We prioritise diversity and inclusion and are honoured to receive the Family Inclusive Workplace Certification for the third time in a row. We and our people are always ready to listen to each other and learn how to build a culture where balancing family and work responsibilities is encouraged. This award shows how dedicated we are to offering flexible work options, such as the 9-Day fortnight, and creating an environment where everyone’s needs are considered. We are proud of our team and the recognition we have earned as a Family Friendly Workplace, which reflects our genuine concern and appreciation for our people."
Family Friendly Workplaces helps organisations create a culture where workers and their families are valued and respected. Together with UNICEF, Parents at Work, and other associations, Family Friendly Workplaces set up the National Work + Family Standards to recognise the important work Certified organisations are doing to encourage their people to be their best at work, and also at home with their families.
