What do you do to support your employees with benefits that *really* make a difference? At Bright Horizons, we are proud to offer back-up care as a vital solution to our clients, supporting their working parents and carers to manage the work-life balance. 🏢⚖️🏡 Back-up care provides a safety net when regular care arrangements fall through, ensuring that employees can stay productive and focused at work without worrying about their loved ones. This benefit not only supports work-life balance but also contributes to overall employee well-being and satisfaction, making it a brilliant solution to add to your talent attraction and retention strategy. By offering back-up care, you can help alleviate the stress and financial burden that unexpected care needs can bring. It’s a brilliant solution that empowers our workforce to thrive both at home and in their careers. 👉 Learn more about back-up care here: https://lnkd.in/eysT_yqb #EmployeeBenefits #BackUpCare #WorkLifeBalance #WorkingParents #WorkingCarers #BrightHorizonsUK

Recent research has suggested backward moves for gender equity in the workplace. The Modern Families Index 2024 revealed women now feel less confident than men about discussing family at work and less able to progress their careers while working flexibly. However, men are almost as likely as women to say they will consider childcare before accepting a new job or promotion and equally as likely to say they will consider their eldercare needs. During this workshop with HR Grapevine, you will: 🟠 Hear research-based insights and lived experience on the expectations of employees, across genders, on work-life balance and family life 🟠 Gain real-world, practical tips to help fathers and parents of all genders achieve a successful work-family balance 🟠 Take away action and advice you can apply for your own workforce 👉 Register here: https://lnkd.in/eNx2YJgT Speakers include: Host: 🔵 Jennifer Liston-Smith, Head of Thought Leadership, Bright Horizons UK Panel: 🔵 Jenny Rolfe, Head of UK Benefits & Wellbeing at Citi 🔵 Marek Broniewski, Senior Vice President - EMEA Regulatory Reward at Citi 🔵 Chris Bryant, Competition and International Trade Partner, BCLP 🔵 Emma George, Wellbeing and I&D Manager, BCLP #BrightHorizonsUK #GenderEquity #WorkLifeBalance

James Sharrod, MBA, Pathways Manager at Bright Horizons explains, “The majority of our apprenticeships are early years... Entry points are rolling throughout the year and are not necessarily aligned to the end of the academic year or the start of a new one. There are approximately 50 new starters per month. We welcome and encourage apprentices of all ages."
