Is your business family friendly?

At 14.00 on Thursday 6th February, HRreview will be hosting the Family-Friendly Business Practice on a Global Scale webinar where professionals will be discussing how employers increasingly want a joined-up global approach to supporting employees in combining work and family. 

Driven by the competition for talent, greater transparency on gender pay gaps and new gender-neutral expectations around parental leave, we need to ‘think globally and act locally’ working with different cultural considerations, circumstances and expectations.

In this lively and practical webinar, James Marsh, former editor of HRreview will be discussing emerging global family-friendly trends and solutions with Jennifer Liston-Smith, head of thought leadership at Bright Horizons Work+Family Solutions and Andrea Wicks-Bowles, senior consultant, director global initiatives at Bright Horizons. Sharing experience and insights from working with global employers, we’ll place particular emphasis on what the UK can learn from, and offer to, other global regions. You’ll also be able to ask questions of the panel.

Since Bright Horizons acquired My Family Care in February 2019, the combined business serves around 1,100 client organisations globally, bringing deep insights into best practice on policy and on provision from workplace nurseries and backup care to coaching for parents and carers, training for line managers and online resources such as the Parental Leave Toolkit.
