👉 Your free 2024 Guide: Cutting Edge Family Friendly policy and practice

Did you know, our research showed that only 15% of people feel company support for working parents has kept up to date with society.

This episode is brought to you by From Babies with Love. We believe that every child should be safe, loved and learning, and donate 100% of our profits to orphaned and abandoned children around the world.

We provide our flagship parental leave gift service to hundreds of global HR functions, helping them connect with colleagues across parental leave and in returning to work, contributing to engagement and retention objectives, and so too gender balance goals.

It’s the story of how your parental leave gifts, celebrating and appreciating your colleagues, and at the same time empowering vulnerable children, that creates such poignant employee engagement. Such enhanced value compared to a bunch of flowers! Or any other gift that doesn’t have the Sustainable Development Goals at its heart.

We transform often existing, ad-hoc spend in to a strategic, consistent and inclusive tool in your Working Parents strategy.

In doing this work, across our clients we see many other strategies and tools that provide exceptional employee experience across family planning and care, and we’re delighted to share that knowledge with you, in our new 2024 guide, Cutting Edge Family Friendly policy and practice.

As well as data and latest examples across 5 key themes in family friendly workplaces, from gender inclusive policy to grandparents at work, you’ll enjoy exclusive behind the scenes features from M&G plc, Standard Chartered and The LEGO Group.
