WorkLife Central to Sponsor Best Family Network Award
Now in their seventeenth year, Working Families' Best Practice Awards showcase and celebrate employers who go above and beyond in their support for parents and carers. They are free to enter and shine a light on organisations that are making a real difference through progressive and inclusive workplace practices.
The Best Family Network category recognises UK employers with outstanding, employee-led networks that provide peer support and positively influence the organisation’s working culture. The judges will be looking for networks that actively support working parents and carers, help shape relevant policies and are backed by senior leadership, with clear governance and visible recognition of volunteers. Successful entries will also demonstrate measurable impact, using data and real examples to show tangible benefits for both employees and the organisation.
Louisa Symington-Mills, Founder and CEO, WorkLife Central comments:
“WorkLife Central is delighted to be sponsoring the Best Family Network category at Working Families’ Best Practice Awards 2026. Families networks sit at the very heart of our community, reflecting the crucial role they play in supporting employees with caring and parenting responsibilities. These networks help drive real, practical support and change within organisations, and we’re proud to celebrate and champion the impact they make.”
The initial deadline for entries is 5.30pm on Friday 27 February 2026, entrants should register their interest at this link and will then be sent the nomination form.
