Podcast: CPO Talks – Rethinking family-friendly policies

Publications

Greg McCaw, our Chief People Officer, was a guest on the Parent and Professional podcast CPO Talks, discussing BKL’s family-friendly policies and how they support our culture.

The topics Greg discussed with Helen Letchfield, co-founder of ⁠Parent and Professional⁠, included:

  • Flexibility and putting people ahead of processes
  • Using policies as an articulation of, and proof of, your values and commitments
  • The role of a good People & Culture (HR) in building workplaces that are accessible to everyone
  • Planning and writing meaningful people policies: understanding the problem to be solved, gathering data, tone of voice, considering the audience, persona mapping
  • Kinship care and BKL’s approach to it
  • The impact of our family-friend policies
  • The ripple effect of a positive family-friendly culture

Greg McCaw and our People & Culture specialists can help you to take meaningful, measurable action on family-friendly support in your organisation. For a chat about how we can help you, get in touch with Greg or send us an enquiry.
