NEW Recognition Opportunities!
Building a Stronger New Mexico Together.
New Mexico’s business community has always had a heart for its employees and a passion for economic growth. At Family Friendly New Mexico (FFNM), we firmly believe that when businesses invest in the welfare of their teams, they, in turn, thrive! Over the past few months, we’ve been deeply engaged with business leaders, listening carefully to their needs and ideas, and finding innovative ways to support their commitment to their employees’ well-being knowing the positive impact family friendly workplace policies have on their business.
The Power of Family Friendly Policies
Our mission extends beyond mere compliance; we strive to showcase the tremendous positive impact that family friendly workplace policies have on business success, family stability and overall economic growth. By fostering a supportive environment for employees, businesses not only thrive but also become catalysts for stronger, more united communities.
Embracing Growth and Sustainability
As we look forward to the future, we are excited to announce the launch of our 2024 Family Friendly Business Award application on October 2nd! We extend a warm invitation to all current, past, and potential awardees to showcase the family friendly policies they provide to their employees.
Introducing Program Support for a Brighter Future
In our unwavering dedication to supporting businesses and ensuring the longevity of our programs, we’re excited to introduce an all new program support option. This addition will not only help sustain our continued programming but also open doors for more companies to participate. You will see the option to provide program support when you apply or renew for 2024. We anticipate an array of enhancements in the year ahead as we elevate our asset package.
Your Opportunity to Make a Difference
By choosing to provide program support for a fee, you can play a pivotal role in nurturing family friendly workplaces across New Mexico. This means more businesses will have the chance to access resources, guidance and recognition for their efforts in creating environments where employees flourish, families thrive and communities strengthen.
Commitment to Equity, Racial Justice and Innovation
In our commitment to creating more equitable workplaces, we have incorporated language recognizing pay equity and menstrual policies in the 2024 application. 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.
Though family friendly workplace policies, we aim to break down barriers, ensure equal opportunities and promote inclusivity for all employees. We understand that a diverse and inclusive workforce is not just a goal; it’s a catalyst for positive change in our communities. By collectively championing these ideals, we are not only building stronger businesses but also helping to create a more just and equitable New Mexico for everyone.
Inspiring Testimonials
Here’s what some of our proud Platinum Award recipients have to say about their experience:
“Sutin, Thayer & Browne prides itself on its Family Friendly New Mexico Platinum Awardee status, and so do its legal recruits. Many of our potential employees mention this award, and how it helped them decide to apply to work at Sutin. It has helped Sutin not only retain but attract excellent employees who know that we take pride in ensuring Sutin is a wonderful place to work.”
“US Eagle Federal Credit Union is proud to be a Platinum Awardee from Family Friendly New Mexico for several years. We invite our employees to the fun and educational annual awards luncheon. Employees that have attended have had ‘a-ha’ moments when they meet people from other companies around the state that also value a Family Friendly mindset. The policies and benefits that support all employees that US Eagle offers truly speak to People Mean More, and how our partnership with FFNM is especially important.”
