A roundtable event at Australia House in London brought UK and Australian business leaders together to discuss the importance of family-friendly working practices. The UK launch of the Family Friendly Workplaces certification emphasizes the need for structured frameworks to support employees with caregiving responsibilities. Early adopters like QBE and Deloitte shared insights on how family-friendly policies help attract and retain talent. The certification aims to address pressing issues such as in-work child poverty and the growing disconnect between work and care, positioning such practices as essential to business strategy.
"Being family-friendly isn't just the right thing to do socially - it's smart business strategy," Walsh noted. "Employers that lead on care consistently outperform when it comes to employee engagement and long-term resilience."
