Developing family friendly workplaces

With Kiri Stejko

CSO at Parents at Work
__

Kiri Stejko, CSO at Parents at Work has a background in People & Culture, Talent management, and acquisition and now works with HR and Business Leaders to maximise talent strategies – including family friendly culture initiatives.

In addition to Kiri’s CSO role, Kiri is part of The Changing Places Group which is a People and Culture consultancy, founded in Australia and servicing clients globally.

In this episode, we hear how organisations need to acknowledge that everyone in the workplace is juggling external responsibilities (parenthood, carer, etc.) and managers need to open it up as a conversation.

Parents at Work have developed an Australian Certification to set a standard and provide an ongoing commitment to run a family friendly workplace, with an annual Action Plan required every year and a certification review bi-annually.
