APPG Sponsors and Partners
We are grateful to the founding sponsor organisations.
Rolls-Royce
Save the Children
“Save the Children are delighted to be supporting the APPG on flexible working. When it’s done right, we know flexible working offers a triple dividend which benefits everyone. It makes life easier for parents and carers juggling work and caring commitments, boosts productivity for employers looking to recruit and retain talented workers and enables better outcomes for children who get to spend more quality time with their families.”
Dan Paskins, UK Impact Director, Save the Children UK
SF Recruitment
“SF has been through a major company transformation in the last 3 years that has hinged on the use of a flexible and autonomous working model. This new way of working has delivered outstanding results, doubling our productivity and tripling profitability.
“We know that flexibility works, and that the vast majority of employees want it. But we also recognise the challenges businesses face in implementing flexibility in a way that enhances performance rather than dilutes it. We want to share the benefit of our experience and are committed to raising awareness of the benefits of family-friendly working. It’s what motivated us to join the APPG, and we’re looking forward to taking an active role in helping UK businesses use flexible working to create workplaces where people can thrive both personally and professionally.”
TLT LLP
“Flexible working is at the core of inclusivity. As a passionate supporter and advocate of new ways of working for business, we are delighted to be involved in sharing best practice in terms of adopting flexible working models, which we believe are central to efforts geared towards improving diversity and inclusivity at work. We are looking forward to sponsoring the APPG on flexible working and playing a part in supporting the successful implementation of new flexible working legislation, making it easier for employees to access flexible working opportunities.”
Helen Hodgkinson, chief people officer at TLT
