Rethinking the Work and Family Divide

How workplaces are embracing being family inclusive

This month, Australia’s business community moved to introduce a set of National Work and Family Standards for employers to encourage organisations to be more family friendly.

June 1st is UN Global Parents Day, we’re hosting the first of a series of panel conversations to discuss and recognise what it means to be a family friendly workplace.

Learn what some of Australia’s first certified Family Friendly Workplaces are doing to bridge the work and family divide, close the gender equality gap, tackle discrimination, improve flexible working as well as overall wellbeing of their workplaces.
