AB named top SME at Top Employers for Working Families 2013 awards

Internal communications agency, AB, has been named as the Top family friendly SME at the 2013 Top Employers for Working Families Awards.

Working Families, the campaigning organisation for family-friendly workplaces, unveiled its definitive list of the organisations achieving success by creating flexible and engaging workplaces for parents and carers.

The winners were unveiled at a prestigious ceremony in central London today.

Entrants complete a unique benchmark survey, which examines flexible working practices and policies. This year saw the introduction of a new SME-specific benchmark giving small and medium-sized enterprises the opportunity to evaluate their current policies and to discover the business benefits of adopting family friendly working.

AB walked away with the top prize, sponsored by Childcarescheme.com, and the other SMEs to make up the top 10 are:

(A-Z)

Brand Learning Group Ltd

CiC

iCrossing Ltd

Mimbre

My Family Care

Obergine

Peridot Partners

Solve HR Ltd

Sound Environment

Daniel Gillborn, director of Childcarescheme.com, said: "Highlighting the importance of the provision of flexible working policies is hugely important to SME employers.

"The top 10 SMEs in this category have proved how successful smaller businesses can be at achieving the appropriate balance between work and family life. I'd like to extend a huge congratulations to these organisations, and I hope the feedback gained from the survey will further enhance this underrepresented sector."
