Family Friendly Workplaces

Good Business Colorado invites you to join us on November 19th from 9:00 am - 10:00 am for an interactive conversation around the policies and practices businesses of all sizes can explore to create a more supportive work environment for employees who have children or are caring for aging parents or other dependent family members.
The webinar will cover topics including:

• Examples of creative initiatives and simple things companies have done to support working parents

• Parental mental health and available resources

• Making it easy for mothers to breastfeed and pump at work

• Connecting employees with safety net programs and services such as SNAP and TANF

• Examples of resources available to business owners through local health departments

From allowing flexibility with work schedules, to making it easier for mothers to pump at work, and connecting employees with community resources, there are many things employers can do to support employees who have caretaking responsibilities. Join us to learn more about how businesses are taking action, which resources are available, and shared successes and lessons learned in the community.
