Terms and Conditions
The Family Inclusive Workplace (FIW) certification is valid for 2 years and is non-transferable. The FIW certification fee is an annual fee with the first invoice issued on completion of this form. The second invoice will be issued in 12 months time.
Family Friendly Workplaces measure their positive social impact on work life wellbeing using the certification framework. They use this framework to be recognised as a socially responsible workplace. The Family Friendly Workplace assessment measures an organisation’s social impact progress against the National Work + Family Standards. Once organisations receive a score, their assessment is verified by an expert Assessor.
Once certified, an organisation will be announced and recognised as a Family Inclusive Workplace. To retain certification, organisations must resubmit an assessment every two years and complete an impact evaluation. Certified organisations are required to submit a Work and Family Action Plan as part of the certification process and are accountable for delivering on this action plan to retain certification.
Family Friendly Workplaces retains the right to revoke certification status if an organisation is unable to complete and uphold the certification requirements or if found in breach of the certification standards.
