Work & Family

working-family1.jpgACCI 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
