It’s an exciting time for the UK work force, more and more employers are coming round to the idea that flexible working is the future, and the number of high profile organisations support Working Mum’s are a testament to that growth.
The fourth annual Top Employer Awards will work to raise publicity of the future world of work and celebrate those organisations that show a commitment to promoting work life balance, flexible working and diversity in the UK.
Stick with us over the next few months for more updates and case studies from last year’s winners including a deeper look in to Unilever as we find out what it was that won them the Innovation in Flexible Working award.
Also, Mandy from Working Mums will be on the blog next week to tell us more about this year’s awards and share some stories from behind the scenes.
In the meantime, there is more information on entering the awards below. Be sure to keep an eye on Twitter for all the updates you’ll need ahead of the awards later on in the year.
A little more from Working Mums on the awards themselves:
We are looking for organisations that understood the benefits, and see the positive business results, of responding to the needs of their employees around these issues. Research shows, for instance, that around 80% of employees will at some time in their working lives become parents.
The awards are free to enter. The aim is to celebrate and reward good practice and share it with others. A representative of each shortlisted firm will be invited to the Awards presentation and networking event in November. Good Luck everyone!
There are eight awards which are open to employers, one of which is also open to employees.
