ACCI Stands For:
Increasing Workforce
Participation
Through effective, practical & mutually agreed approaches that complement
work & family needs, aspirations &
realities
Policy Objectives:
- A flexible workplace relations system
- Encouraging and supporting formal or informal workplace agreements on work and family issues
- Recognising that whilst effective approaches to work and family can add to workforce participation,
many businesses especially in the small business sector, will be limited in their capacity to
accommodate employee family issues
- Recognising that employers have responded on work and family issues and implemented
measures where these are practical and sustainable. Scope for practical, day-to-day informal
responses on work and family issues must be maintained
- Acknowledging that it is appropriate that employers continue to decide the
practicality and sustainability of responses to particular work and family issues
