Naples Alliance for Children invites all local businesses to join other Collier County businesses in becoming a Family Friendly Business.

The Naples Alliance for Children encourages and recognizes employers who have workplace policies and programs that assist employees to take an active part in raising their children.

NAFC developed a set of criteria that is used to identify local businesses that exemplify a family friendly workplace. The businesses that meet some or all of the established criteria are designated as NAFC Family Friendly Businesses. Plaques will be presented to the designees at the 2009 NAFC Annual Dinner, Thursday, April 1, 2009 at Country Club of Naples.

In 2006 NAFC introduced a new award for companies who have excelled in demonstrating family friendly policies and/or practices received a special recognition plaque as a Family Friendly Workplace Employer of the Year. Five companies honored for their established and innovative programs in 2007 were:
  • THE BONITA BAY GROUP
  • NCH HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS
  • REDLANDS CHRISTIAN MIGRANT ASSOCIATION (RCMA)
  • WILSONMILLER
  • YAMRON JEWELERS
The importance of family policies and benefits in the workplace is becoming crucial to men and women when they evaluate employment opportunities and also to employers who compete for working parents in the labor market. Employers are now called upon to create a work environment that meets the expanding and challenging role of the working parent. Family Friendly workplace programs payoff in dividends by attracting and retaining the best employees, increasing productivity, increasing employee morale, reducing turnover, absenteeism and tardiness, and reducing health costs related to stress. Naples Alliance for Children encourages all businesses, large and small, to have workplace policies and programs which assist employees to take an active part in raising their children.
