Family Friendly Working Scotland

General information

FFWS work to support and promote the development of family friendly workplaces across Scotland. Our ambition is to make Scotland a beacon of excellence in family friendly working. We work with employers and support them to embed family friendly working practices, which bring huge benefits to both employees and business.

We do this by holding free events and workshops throughout the year where you can learn about what other employers are doing to recruit and retain talent, and how it benefits their business. FFWS can help employers stay abreast of the latest in flexible working research to maximise everyone's talent potential, increase engagement, raise productivity, improve morale and lower staff turnover.

We also have an annual Scotland's Top Employer for Working Families awards ceremony to celebrate progressive employers that have successfully embedded family friendly and flexible working practices.
