Best Small Private Sector Employer  WINNER – Response IT 

This year’s awards saw a record number of entries, showing the appetite and engagement surrounding flexibility and work–life balance.

Winners are all working toward establishing supportive workplace cultures as well as family-friendly policies.

Jane van Zyl, Chief Executive of Working Families, said: “Our research shows that while 86% of parents in the UK want to work flexibly, less than half actually do. To close this gap, we need employers to step up, to innovate, and to create policies, practices, and cultures that work for people and work for the business. Today’s winners are doing just that: taking creative approaches to embedding flexibility, building supportive cultures, and listening to and learning from their employees.”

Now in their 10th year, the Working Families Best Practice Awards recognise achievements in 12 categories across a range of work–life policies and practices.
