The Quality Mark Program for a Supportive Work Environment for Parents provides institutions operating in the country within the targeted sectors that meet the program's criteria with the opportunity to obtain the Parent-Friendly Label.
The label is given in recognition of companies' adoption of a work culture and policies that support working parents, enabling them to achieve a balance between work and family, and ensuring that their children receive the best possible care and attention.
Since its launch in 2021, the Parent-Friendly Workplace Quality Mark Program has positively impacted the lives of more than 148,000 employees across 25 different sectors, including more than 67,000 parents of more than 50,000 children aged 0-8, and 1,492 children with disabilities.
