Mumsnet's Family Friendly Campaign is gathering momentum. If you haven't heard about it yet > you can read more here.

Some great companies have signed up already - take a bow Pizza Express, BT, Talk Talk, PZ Cussons, 02, Cool Milk, SMV, Pearson Smile - and we're talking to lots more, but would love to know if you work for a company or organisation (or know someone who works for a company or organisation) who would like to be part of the campaign and put themselves up for a Mumsnet Family Friendly Award.

If you want to nominate a company please send the contact name and email (and ideally telephone number) to [email protected] and we'll be in touch (though promise not to mention your name if you'd rather we didn't!).

Thanks in advance

I do work for a family friendly company but in my office they are lovely and family focused, however, the overall company suck so really cant add them

My DP works for BT and for all their faults (and there are many), there are actually a very family-friendly company. Flexible working hours, parental leave arrangements, childcare vouchers.....certainly better than my public sector job anyway.

... and of course if you work for one of the big guys (or even medium sized guys) and they're not listed as having signed up and you think they should be - please send us their name and any contact you might have for someone relevant there (usually HR, CSR or marketing - but could be anyone interested) and we'll get on to them straight away. And do tell us what, if anything, the firm you work for is doing for families both internally and externally. Thanks all

Welll.....at the moment we are targeting the big guys to get them to step up to the plate (sorry cliche Blush) and membership involves a cost and audits etc. What we'd love is if folks like you and your business would share your stories so we can include them as case studies and shout about the fabulous ways that Mumsnetters are making ff work for them.

so, do we have to email for a pack, or... how does it work?

nickelbabe · 07/07/2011 16:38

I think setting up to work for yourself is a very family friendly solution! We do want to hear those stories :)

Tee2072 · 07/07/2011 14:14

Well, we are very Family Friendly, nickle!!!

GCHQ seems to be very family friendly, their employees seem to work very flexible hours, but they're probably too hush hush to be part of this campaign. I don't work for them but know loads who do. Sorry that's not much help is it?

Tee - i was just about to say that about me! Grin

how spooky is that ?! Grin

Tee2072 · 07/07/2011 14:03

I work for a Family Friendly Company. I own it. And am the only employee. Grin
