About Us

Mission: Our mission is to recognize and support employers that adopt and implement family friendly policies so that businesses, employees and their families can thrive.

Vision: Family Friendly New Mexico envisions that all New Mexican workers are able to participate fully in work and life, which means they have the time and capacity to care for their children and families, have access to good jobs and are able to contribute to their communities.

Family Friendly New Mexico is committed to racial justice. We are committed to listening and learning, doing the hard work, having the hard conversations and providing resources so that our business leaders can do the same in their own organizations.

More About Family Friendly NM: Family Friendly New Mexico is a nonprofit initiative that recognizes New Mexico businesses with family friendly policies and serves as a resource for businesses to increase and improve the policies they offer their employees. FFNM does not advocate for legislation or regulation but simply works to promote family friendly business practices to New Mexico businesses. FFNM supports businesses to become family friendly and improve their family friendly practices by providing educational seminars, a toolkit with sample policies as well as peer to peer support.

We use the Healthy Workplaces Act to define family: “Family member” is defined as an employee’s spouse or domestic partner or a person related to an employee or an employee’s spouse or domestic partner as:

• a biological, adopted or foster child, a stepchild or legal ward, or a child to whom the employee stands in loco parentis;
• a biological, foster, step or adoptive parent or legal guardian, or a person who stood in loco parentis when the employee was a minor child;
• a grandparent;
• a grandchild;
• a biological, foster, step or adopted sibling;
• a spouse or domestic partner of a family member; or
• an individual whose close association with the employee or the employee’s spouse or domestic partner is the equivalent of a family relationship
