Pillar 1: Workforce flexibility and wellbeing
1. Essex Working Families Charter
Commit to enact the Essex Working Families Charter. This makes it easier for employees to manage their work-life balance. It will help you to retain talented colleagues with other commitments.
2. Promote wellbeing services
Signpost your employees to local wellbeing services and campaigns. We can provide you with a list of local resources.
3. Offer paid volunteering days
Offer up to three paid days for community volunteering. We will link you to opportunities with local charities.
4. Support additional family services
Host or signpost to local foodbanks and services for the community.
5. Provide guidance on accessing childcare
Provide information and advice to parents and carers about accessing childcare. This should include funding methods, such as tax-free childcare and funded early education entitlement (FEEE).
