Become an Oklahoma Certified Family Positive Workplace

What is an OK Certified Family Positive Workplace?

"There are only four kinds of people in the world – those who have been caregivers, those who are caregivers, those who will be caregivers and those who will need caregivers." - Rosalynn Carter

A family-positive workplace is one that offers policies to help employees balance their work and family obligations including:

flexible work schedules and locations
childcare
support for elder care
family leave options
other family-positive benefits

Research shows that family-positive workplace practices benefit employers, families, and society:

Employers gain in employee recruitment, retention, loyalty, and productivity, all of which contribute to the bottom line.
Families gain the ability to balance work and family obligations, reduce stress, and better quality of family life and life in general.
Society gains because family-positive policies lead to more stable families with time to contribute to their communities and better outcomes for children.

Our purpose is to provide HR Professionals and other business leaders with:

The business case for family positive policies
Education and resources for employees with young children
Quality childcare resources and employer child expense assistance information
Flexible hours, job share, and part-time scheduling ideas
Resources for management training on understanding the challenges of caregiving employees

Certified Family Positive employers with more than 35 employees are encouraged to participate in The Oklahomans Top Workplaces survey. Beginning in 2024 Potts Family Foundation will sponsor the Top Family Positive Awards to be presented in December. You can nominate your workplace here: https://topworkplaces.com/nominate/oklahoman/

We would like to thank and recognize our partners in the Potts Family Foundation Family Positive Workplace program.
