We know how important it is to recognise and support #fatherhood at work.
Here's an important opportunity for employers to be recognised for areas of best practice.
Enter by 29th February!
Only 1/4 of employers offer dads more than the statutory paternity leave. If you’re going above & beyond to support fathers, get the kudos you deserve. Enter the #WFBestPracticeAwards Best for Fathers sponsored by @RollsRoyce & judged by @IamElliottrae.

'New fathers, mental health and a spectrum of digital dis/engagement' - new blog with @DrRanjanaDas just published on the excellent Parenting for a Digital Future #P4DF @surreysociology blogs.lse.ac.uk/parenting4di…
Great article supporting the case for a simpler fairer system of leave that encourages more dads to take leave during the first year.
The number of countries where paternity leave is enshrined in law has more than doubled to about 90 in the last 20 years, yet the proportion of men who take time off is still tiny. Why is this? I explored for @BBC_Worklife bbc.com/worklife/article/202…
