Create a stronger, more inclusive family-first workforce.

Your employees wear many different hats at the office, but at home with their children, the most important job is that of a parent or guardian. Nurturing your child, providing stimulating care, and a loving environment, especially during the first five years of a child’s life, is critical to giving them the best possible start in life.

As an employer, the strength of your culture aligns with the quality of your workforce and a basic need for your employees is a company that focuses on family-friendly practices and policies.

It’s simple. If you want to hire and retain the best people it’s essential to establish family-friendly policies for your employees, so they have the time and support their children needs. One day, those kids may be one of your employees.

Here are the ways your company can CHAMPION Detroit’s Children.

  1. Provide flexible working arrangements
  2. Establish paid parental leave policies
  3. Support access to affordable and quality childcare
  4. Develop training and awareness campaigns, highlighting the importance of early childhood development
  5. Do not discriminate against women concerning employment conditions, wages, or career opportunities

Not only can you implement these family-friendly policies, but you can create a friendly employee/business competition between business units/departments within your company. If you do, Hope Starts Here will showcase your employees in action on our social media platforms.
