The firm has also been awarded the accreditation itself following the certification process.

The Family Friendly Workplace accreditation, developed in partnership with national charity Working Families – the UK’s national charity for working parents and carers – sets new standards for inclusive employers.

Using a “proven framework” set against international best-practice standards, it is the first accreditation in the UK whereby employers can assess their policies and practices and develop an action plan to set them on the path to certification as a Family Friendly Workplace. 

Helen Hodgkinson, chief people officer at TLT, said: “TLT’s people are the firm’s beating heart. By ensuring we’re meeting their needs and requirements throughout their working life, we are also ensuring ongoing commercial success.

“In an era where people expect more from their employer, any business that fails to listen to their people is taking a substantial risk and will lose out on talent.”
