Shared Parental Leave

Work+Family Space

Work+Family Space 

Advice and support your people can trust. All in one place.

A customised, employer-branded hub bringing trusted family support, specialist guidance and practical services together in one place, so employees can find the right help more easily.

Why it matters

Employee wellbeing and family support are closely connected. People face different pressures at different stages of life, but when guidance and benefits are scattered across multiple places, finding the right help can become another challenge.

Work + Family Space gives them one trusted place to start.

How do employees access support

Employees enter through a hub branded for your organisation. The experience is personalised around their life stage, role and interests, so relevant guidance and support are easier to find.

Available 24/7, employees can explore in their own time and move from information to personal or practical support when they need it.

The Support

When employees need help with parenting, education, care or family life, the quality of the answer matters.

Work+Family Space connects them with guidance created by specialists—and real human support when the situation is more complex.

Expert guidance

Straightforward articles, videos and practical tools created by specialists. Employees can get reliable answers to everyday questions, understand their options and feel more confident about what to do next.

Live events

Expert-led talks, webinars, Q&As and workshops on the issues employees and families are dealing with right now. Employees can learn from specialists, hear from others and ask their own questions.

Speak to an Expert

Live dashboard on utilisation by team, location, benefit, and life-stage. Cost per retained employee. Engagement trends, content performance, retention correlation. The data layer most family-benefits programmes have always lacked — and reward leaders have always been asked for.

Direct access to services

When advice is not enough, employees can access the services included in their programme.

That could mean help finding care through Family Concierge, temporary care for a planned need or emergency back-up care when usual arrangements fall through.
