Bridging the Gap Between Workplace Policies and Care Realities

Societies and economies around the world face increasing friction between the demand for productivity and the growing care needs of the current and future workforce, and workplace policies must evolve accordingly.

Despite progress, the gap between policy and lived experience remains wide.

Empowering Families,
Advancing Businesses

Not only do family-friendly policies contribute to better health and wellbeing for families and developmental outcomes for children.

Evidence shows that such policies improve workforce productivity and enhance an organisation’s ability to attract, motivate, and retain employees. Family-friendly policies also play a crucial role in reducing gender inequality.

The absence of such policies disproportionately affects women, who often bear the greater burden of caregiving responsibilities, undermining their career progression and economic empowerment.
