THE BOTTOM LINE: WHY FOCUS ON FAMILY FRIENDLY?

Fort Worth is the 13th largest city in the nation – and we have the 2nd highest share of families with children.

What does that mean for our business community?

It means our businesses are serving employees who are also parents and caretakers. More specifically, we have employees with responsibilities and worries related to their kids’ wellbeing that impact their productivity, availability, and loyalty to their workplace.

For Fort Worth to stay on the cutting edge of attracting and retaining top talent, we know we must innovate and have a game plan when it comes to employee wellbeing and family-friendly practices.

National research tells us that there is a serious business case to being family-friendly.
