My Family Care provides fantastic, practical solutions to individuals who have to combine work and family.

We are driven by doing whatever it takes to give the parent or carer the solution they need. We measure ourselves by getting regular, great feedback.

Details of our Vision & Mission that you might find interesting:

Backup Care

The Mission is to always find the solution that the employee wants and needs. In 2008 we achieved a 96% success rate on bookings - including those booked that day on as little as half an hour's notice.

The Mission in 2009 is to achieve a 97% success rate on bookings.

Specialist Support

For our clients that have access to our Search & Guidance service the mission in 2009 is that 1 in 3 users of the service complete a detailed questionnaire where we can classify the results as excellent.

For Companies

Our Vision is that all our clients "value" the relationship with My Family Care. By value we mean that every client is happy to give us a reference and every client thinks we provide a brilliant cost effective service.

We prove we are cost effective by only charging on a per usage basis. And we prove that clients "value" us by asking them.

A client list and contact details for EVERY client is available on request.

The HR brand

Since relaunching with Haymarket Publishing in 1999, HR magazine has been steering readers though the journey the industry is taking, adding insight and debate on current HR practice and future HR thinking. HR believes human resources strategy should always be closely linked to corporate strategy and performance.

• HR only goes to the cream of the crop - HR directors and board directors responsible for handling people and with budgets to spend and consultancy to buy
• HR is the industry's only monthly publication that promises to provide readers with original research, new thinking, best practice case studies and strategic information to help them improve performance

Each month HR brings you:

• Interviews with the country's leading HR directors, including the first major interview with NHS HR director Clare Chapman, and profiles of HR directors from Sainsbury's, Metropolitan Police, Minister for employment relations Pat McFadden, Vodafone, Easyjet, Starbucks, O2, BAA and many more
• Columnists including Chris Bones, dean of Henley Business School and David Fairhust, VP of HR for McDonalds Europe
• Campaigns - In 2008 HR launched two campaigns - its groundbreaking 'Make A Difference' campaign, promoting the CSR agenda among HR professionals, and a campaign for the government to provide generic care vouchers, applicable to those supporting elderly dependents as well as children
• Exclusives - the first, and most frank interviews, with the industry's most important figures, including Chris Humphries, chair of the UK Commission for Employment and Skills, and Brendan Barber, general secretary of the TUC. But HR also brings you more familiar faces, such as the first business interview with James Caan - one of the BBC's Dragons' - who started in recruitment
• Supplements - Special supplements that get to the heart of thorny issues - such as the state of the UK skills maze, and why the many agencies serving it may not be value for money; Green fleets - whether they will really change the future of commuting and the latest trends in recruitment and wikinomics.
• Regulars - updates on aspects of learning and development, pensions, benefits, new products, books, and legal issues each and every month
• HRmagazine.co.uk - breaking daily news, blogs and forums, daily e-bulletin and even more features and opinions

National Family Week is celebrating you and your family. In its first ever year, this new initiative has one simple aim - bringing families together.

The activities planned for the week will encourage families to play, learn, eat, read, compete and - most importantly - spend quality time together.

National Family Week is already the largest coalition on family issues in the UK.  The Week is backed by charities, sponsors, schools, community organisations, government bodies, local councils, sports clubs, associations, celebrities and even the Prime Minister.

Family is something we all have in common.  Regardless of age or stage, shape or size, belief or background, National Family Week promises something for everyone.

The importance of work-life balance will be one of the focus areas during the Week.
