Tennessee Commission on Children and Youth launches The Best Place for Working Parents Tennessee

  • Posted on February 1, 2023

 

 

Tennessee Commission on Children and Youth has joined the national Best Place for Working Parents partnership, offering real-time designations to businesses of all sizes whose family-friendly policies qualify through a first-of-its-kind, 3-minute online self-assessment. Tennessee Commission on Children and Youth is launching Best Place for Working Parents Tennessee to offer local business leaders the opportunity to instantly determine whether their organization qualifies to earn a Best Place for Working Parents designation, positioning them among the leading family-friendly businesses in the U.S.
Originating in Fort Worth in 2020, the confidential online business self-assessment allows businesses of all sizes tout innovative practices that are helping today’s working parents provide for their families, and adapt and thrive at work during extraordinary times. The Best Place for Working Parents assessment highlights only the top 10 research-backed policies proven to benefit working parents AND businesses’ bottom line.

While family-friendly policies have a direct impact on working parents, local and national research proves that there is also a serious business case to being family-friendly:
• 83% of millennials would leave one job for another with stronger family-friendly supports.
• Replacing an employee costs an employer six to nine months of that employee’s salary.
• Over 60% of working parents said child care issues have caused them to miss work.
• Employers lose $13 billion annually due to child care challenges faced by their workforce.

The Best Place for Working Parents online self-assessment provides a real-time dashboard of how a business fares against other businesses of like size and industry across each of the top 10 family-friendly practices in their region. Each of the top 10 policies include research on their business ROI and case studies that tell the story of how local businesses’ practices have impacted their productivity, retention, job satisfaction and attraction. The 3-minute self-assessment, real-time dashboard results, and the Best Place for Working Parents designation for qualifying businesses can be accessed at business.bestplace4workingparents.com. Tennessee Commission on Children and Youth is excited to announce the University of Tennessee, Knoxville as the first business in the state to receive the designation.

The Best Place for Working Parents is a growing national network of business leaders proving that family-friendly IS business-friendly.  Originating in Fort Worth, Texas, The Best Place for Working Parents seeks to support businesses with research-backed strategies that benefit working parents AND businesses’ bottom line.
