Lendlease named Working Families Top 30 Employer

Now in its thirteenth year, employers large and small from across the public, private, and third sectors compete annually to gain a coveted place on the charity’s list of Top Employers for Working Families.  

Employers were assessed using Working Families’ Benchmark and were scored on four key areas to build a comprehensive picture of their flexible and family-friendly policies and practices that specifically support mothers, fathers, and carers.  

Quote attributable to Shaina Kotecha, Chief People Officer, Lendlease: 

“We’re delighted to be recognised as a Top Employer for working families. We pride ourselves on our family-friendly policies and we know how important flexibility is to support equity and the overall wellbeing of our people and their families. We have focussed on a flexible working culture and made flexible working requests a day-one right with training provided to all our people managers to ensure these conversations take place on a regular basis. The above industry average take-up of our enhanced shared parental leave among our employees is just one way that shows our efforts to provide an equitable culture for working families is paying off.”

“We are delighted to recognise the outstanding organisations that made our Top Employers for Working Families list this year. These employers excelled in our rigorous benchmarking process, proving they are leading the way in building family-friendly workplaces in the UK. The variety of sizes and sectors represented on this year’s list demonstrates that—with a commitment to best practice and an appetite to innovate—it is possible for any organisation to support their people through embedding flexible and family-friendly practices.”
