Welcome to the website of the Corporate Parenthood Observatory.

Our mission is to incite European firms to implement concrete actions to support their employees who have children. We  value Family Friendly Firms.

Our three main objectives are the following :

• Promote the Corporate Parenthood Charter which was launched in France in April 2008 and has already been signed by 80 French companies, representing 1 million French employees to date
• Organize workshops for companies who want to share their company policies and practicies about balancing their employee's work/family time
• Assess the changes within companies regarding the support they bring to employees with children.

What can be done by firms to help employees better reconcile work and family ? We have identified four major fields in which companies can act to become family friendly.

1)    Services to support employees with children

2)    Financial support

3)    Work organisation

4)    HR and managerial support

Hereafter in this site, you will have the opportunity to discover the best practices of international groups in these fields.
