About Us
Our story: how a global movement started
Family Friendly Workplaces™ is a global movement to transform the future of work through family-inclusive policies that support wellbeing, inclusion, and gender equality.
Backed by policymakers, industry leaders, and community organisations, we empower businesses worldwide to align with best practice Global Work + Family Standards.
For societies and economies to thrive, businesses and governments across the globe must unite to accelerate the adoption of family-friendly workplace policies - creating a more inclusive, productive, and sustainable future for all.

Building Family Friendly Workplaces™
The Family Friendly Workplaces™ certification is the first of its kind across the UK. Using the Global Work + Family Standards, it recognises the organisations that are committed to embedding best practice ways of working.
It has wide-reaching benefits, enabling employers to assess their social impact, attract and retain talent, improve wellbeing outcomes and drive a culture of change by raising the standards of family-inclusive employers.
The Family Friendly Workplaces™ certification programme aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, thereby contributing to global social change.
