Your workforce is your greatest asset.
What is the one way you can mobilize them to believe your organisation is more than just a place that provides for their bread and butter?
Engage with them on a personal level; on matters that count.
The family is one such factor that can influence how your employee performs.
It is said that on an average we spend 1/3 of our time at work, which means a large portion of the remaining time is spent with family. And personal relationships are vital; be it with a parent or child, friends or extended family.
What better way to show you care than by taking the effort to plan an event specifically for their loved ones? The Bring Your Child to Work program is one such initiative and here are two crucial points that make it a program worth hosting.
Inclusivity
A large fraction of employees in your workforce are parents. Many are single moms and dads or parents making a comeback into the workforce. By organizing a meaningful BYCTW you are investing in a powerful message; of being a progressive and futuristic organisation taking into account inclusivity, where parents don’t have to be guilty for being working parents.
Validation
Every parent wants to be the best parent to their child. Be it in the experiences they provide or the time they get to bond with their offspring. The BYCTW program aims to fulfill both parameters. As an organisation, you give parents the chance to feel good about themselves and bond with their little ones. Children also get to view parents in a different light; as employees who multitask and perform functions different from those seen at home. It provides children with a place to observe other working professional and at an intrinsic level impact future career choices.
There are several benefits of organizing a BYCTW program in your organisation. The two key points covered here are those that will impact your employees directly. As Writer Annie Dillard wrote, “How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.” What better way than to work for an organisation that understands the value of their employees, and the importance of programs like the BYCTW?
