Think your workplace is one of Fort Worth’s best places for working parents? You can enter the inaugural Best Place for Working Parents 2020. The initiative is part of a community-wide campaign, with Mayor Betsy Price, to build Fort Worth as “The Best Place for Kids.” The strategy includes developing a best-in-class child care model; mapping child care deserts in the city; repurposing buildings for child care or upgrading existing facilities; inspiring family-friendly business practices; using summer school spaces as early education hubs; and publicly recognizing great spaces and places for kids.
Price will announce Fort Worth’s first Best Place for Working Parents Awards at her 2020 State of the City address Feb. 28. Employers can go to the site, take an online assessment of their workplace practices, and apply for the award. Deadline is Feb. 10. Click here to take the assessment and apply.
Award applications will be judged on family-friendly policies. Best Place for Kids says the top 10 family-friendly policies that positively impact the bottom line are company-paid health coverage; paid time off; parental leave; nursing benefits; having a “Best Place” designation; on-site child care; child care assistance; backup child care; flexible hours; and work by remote.
