In our previous newsletter, we mentioned sharing a quick assessment tool to help you evaluate the family-friendliness of your workplace. Many companies have fallen behind in implementing family-friendly policies, reflecting outdated models that don't align with the realities of today's workforce. For instance, 48% of fathers and 38% of mothers are considering quitting their jobs due to a lack of flexibility.
Our Family-Friendly Workplace Assessment serves as a self-assessment tool for employers to gauge their current policies and practices. It aims to identify areas for improvement in supporting the work-life balance needs of employees. To complete this brief online assessment effectively, you'll need a solid understanding of your HR policies and practices.
Next Steps
After completing the assessment, take the initiative to gather feedback from working parents, grandparents, and caregivers about their current level of support at work and their additional needs. Learning from other businesses known for their family-friendly practices can also be valuable. Child Care Aware of Missouri® offers resources and expertise to assist in this process.
Once you've assessed your workplace, don't hesitate to take action. Even small, affordable changes can make a significant impact on your workplace culture. Visit our website to explore how our solutions can further support your journey towards building a family-friendly workplace.
