Wisconsin’s workforce shortage isn’t coming – it’s already here.

The Family Friendly Workplace Employer Certification® program helps employers respond by recognizing employers who use family-supporting benefits to attract and retain today’s workforce—while building tomorrow’s.

A priority of Family Friendly Workplaces is working to strengthen the benefits available to families, with a particular focus on benefits relating to early childhood and family time.

Employers play a direct role in the provision of benefits which support these positive outcomes. To encourage businesses to adopt more robust policies in this area, the bulk of available points in our Certification Matrix (explained on the Certifying Employers page) are in the early childhood and time-off benefits categories.

Responsible Parents are Responsible Workers

  • A majority of children live with two working parents or a single working parent.
  • The workforce is 53% female, including 67% of mothers with children age six or under.
  • Single fathers responsible for child care constitute one of America’s fastest growing consumer groups.

For parents, the overwhelming task of arranging child care creates stress and may affect productivity, work attitudes, absenteeism, longevity and a number of other critical areas bearing on employee performance.
