Top Employers for Working Families awards is the definitive list of the UK's best organisations for working families

Employers which support their employees who combine work with care commitments are more likely to have an engaged workforce.

It's not only about working mothers - it's also about working fathers and increasingly carers with adult or elderly dependents.

We believe that it is possible to combine work and care successfully. Statistics also prove that people who manage to make work and life balance are the most engaged, productive and valuable members of any team.

Analysis of how family-friendly you are

We know that employers can play a massive role in supporting their parents and carers. The Top Employers for Working Families A-Z List & Awards is an analysis of those employers who provide the best cultural, emotional and practical support for working families. It's the UK's definitive guide to who is leading the agenda.

Developed by Working Families & IES

The A-Z List & Awards have been developed by Working Families, the national champions of flexible working and work-life balance, along with the IES (Institute for Employment Studies), the UK's leading experts on employment matters and policy. Input on the Awards has also come from many of the country's biggest and best employers.

Benchmarking report available to all entrants

It's the first time that an aggregated benchmarking report has been available to measure just how 'family friendly' you are. Awards are broken down into 15 Special Categories.
