Family Friends

Can you adjust your work schedule to attend your children’s school plays or nurse them through chicken pox? Are there innovations in your benefit package that help out working parents, such as a dependent care spending account?

If you think your company cares, you can nominate it to be honored in the fourth annual Recognition of Family Friendly Employers, sponsored by the Los Angeles County Child Care Advisory Board.

Employees of any size or type of firm may nominate employers that have established family friendly policies and practices. For an entry form, call (213) 974-2611. The deadline for nominations is Friday.

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors will present scrolls to the winners on June 3 in the supervisors’ boardroom.
