We're Recognising Top Employers
Being a Top Employer is more than just having a suite of policies around work-life balance.
A Top Employer is one who promotes family-friendly working - and means it. Top Employers will take steps to make sure that policies are actually embedded in organisational culture.
Top Employers all demonstrate the practical application of a family-friendly approach to employment. Policy is not enough. To get family-friendly working to take off in an organisation it is necessary to really embed it in the culture. In this respect, SMEs may have an advantage where the culture is easier to influence, due to scale and familiarity. Larger organisations may have to take a more methodical approach to get flexible working to become a realistic consideration for many employees. However there are common elements which can really make a difference between just having good policies, and really being a family-friendly employer.
