For Employers

Ready to set a real standard?

You don't need to be a large company to lead. Cakes Body did it with 30 people, covering up to $3,000/month per employee from day one. You can start today with what you have — and build from there.

The Playbook

Four steps. Start this week.

The employers who lead on family support retain better talent, build stronger teams, and attract candidates who have choices about where they work. The math is on your side.

  1. Step 1

    Run the audit.

    Use our Family-Friendly Workplace Audit to assess your current benefits across paid leave, childcare, return-to-work, fertility, and postpartum. Takes 20 minutes. Shows you exactly where the gaps are.

  2. Step 2

    Adopt the model policy.

    Our Model Parental Leave & Family Support Policy is ready to use — covering paid leave, childcare subsidies, the 30/60/90-day reentry plan, flexible scheduling, and lactation accommodations.

  3. Step 3

    Implement the reentry plan.

    For every employee going on leave, complete the 30/60/90-Day Reentry Plan together — before leave begins. One conversation. Changes everything about how they come back.

  4. Step 4

    Tell us you did it.

    Tag @familyforwardmovement with what you've committed to. We'll amplify it. The companies that lead deserve to be seen.

The law should set the floor. You can set it higher.
