The Family Friendly Workplaces certification program recognises organisations commitment to creating a family inclusive workplace.
Besides recognition, the certification is a social impact measurement tool. It provides a score and recommendations to help your organisation measure and improve its social impact over time by evaluating your current policies and practices against the National Work + Family Standards.
The National Work + Family Standards have been developed in partnership with UNICEF Australia and endorsed by expert industry and community partners to provide a benchmark for family inclusive workplace best practice policy development and implementation to embed sustainable progress.
The certification supports organisations to identify and develop targeted family inclusive policies and practices that support an organisation to improve its inclusion, gender equality and wellbeing outcomes, as well as track and report progress.
Provided your organisation has met the benchmarking requirements, you can start the online certification process at any time.
