As it becomes increasingly difficult to recruit new employees and retain top talent in an incredibly tight job market, employers are looking for ways to differentiate themselves and be more competitive. When job seekers and professionals are finding their next place of employment, chances are they will be thinking about their entire family. Family friendly policies are some of the best assets an employer can use in attracting top talent. In fact, research shows 83% of millennials will leave one job for another with stronger family policies and better family support.
The San Antonio Chamber of Commerce is proud to once again present Best Place for Working Parents® San Antonio. This initiative recognizes family-friendly workplaces in the San Antonio region and aims to raise awareness of the importance of family-friendly benefits and policies for employers and workers. Local employers can support their employees in a variety of ways, ranging from providing assistance with finding high-quality child care all the way to paying for child care as an employee benefit. This is not a one size fits all solution, so we encourage you to take the short and simple self-assessment and discover where your organization stands. Through the assessment, you can compare your company’s policies to other similar-sized organizations and see if you qualify for a Best Place for Working Parents® designation. Businesses that achieve the designation will be automatically notified and receive a digital badge to use on their website, social media, and print as a Best Place for Working Parents®. If you aren’t yet ready for this designation, then your team has a place to start planning.
We encourage San Antonio businesses to participate in this initiative and promote their own designation with a sense of pride and accomplishment. The assessment only takes about three minutes to complete and is completely confidential.
