The Growth Company has renewed its membership with Working Families, the UK’s work-life balance charity.
Working Families' mission is to remove the barriers that people with caring responsibilities face in the workplace. They provide the tools and benchmarking to influence policy and advise employers on best practice.
GC originally signed up to Working Families in 2021, and has now renewed its membership for a further 12 months.
Creating a positive and supportive environment for our colleagues who are parents and/or carers is important to us at GC, and although not a defined protected characteristic, we recognise the impact that caring responsibilities can have on our colleagues’ lives and are committed to using the data and insights available to use from this membership to support them.
About our commitment to maintaining this employer membership, Naomi Ilagoswa, Co-chair of our Parents & Carers EDI Network said: "At GC, we’re a family. By listening to our colleagues, working with our own business networks and our partners, and through membership of national charities, we'll have a strong collective knowledge base and a deeper understanding of how we can help our colleagues navigate caring responsibilities.
"With over 40 years’ experience, Working Families has a unique understanding of what it takes to be an inclusive, agile organisation. By continuing to work with them, through our Parents & Carers EDI Network we'll continue to evolve and influence GC's commitment to caring responsibilities and push the boundaries of understanding with access to Working Families' internationally renowned research and their work with policy makers on shaping legislation, policy and practice."
