We Are a Family Forward NC Certified Employer!
The Cabarrus County Partnership for Children has been named a Family Forward NC Certified Employer by the North Carolina Foundation's Family Forward NC initiative.
Launched in 2018, Family Forward NC is an innovative initiative to improve children’s health and well-being and keep North Carolina’s businesses competitive. It is employer-led change to increase access to research-based, family-friendly practices — big and small — that improve workplace productivity, recruitment and retention; grow a strong economy; and support children’s healthy development. To date, Family Forward NC has engaged with more than 6,900 employers across North Carolina.
A Family Forward NC Employer Certification designates employers that offer policies and practices that support the health and well-being of working families and children. To achieve certification, we look at employer benefits in the the following policy and practice categories:
- paid leave and wages,
- accommodations for pregnant and breastfeeding workers,
- child care supports,
- health and wellness benefits,
- and scheduling practices.
