LSE top employer for working families
At the end of 2010, LSE was named as one of the top 30 A-Z Employers for Working Families. The School is the only university included in the thirty outstanding UK organisations.
To win a place on the 2010 A-Z list, organisations had to demonstrate to the leading work-life charity, Working Families, how they embed family friendly working practices into their culture. The survey covered the following areas:
-
Information on formal flexible working requests and arrangements
-
Support to parents and carers (e.g. of elderly parents) in terms of enhancements to statutory and contractual entitlements
-
Support through flexible working or additional leave
-
Recruitment practices
-
Career progression and training
-
Measuring the impact of the family friendly culture and manager practice and development
The School aims to do even better this year and the HR Division is using the survey as a tool to identify areas for improvement. For more information, visit Top Employers 2010 |.
