Families Commission,
The Families Commission is challenging New Zealanders to get together on 15 May – Families Day.
The day is about making a special effort to spend time with family.
We will be using the week from May 12 to May 18 to raise awareness of Families Day and encourage New Zealanders to take time out of their busy lives to celebrate with their families.
In particular the Commission is be focusing on promoting flexible work conditions which allow family members to spend more time with each other. Here at the Commission we pride ourselves on providing staff with a number of family friendly practises and we will again be supporting Families Day by closing the office early, giving staff the opportunity to spend some extra time with their families.
We would like to see every other family focused organisation join us in marking the day by doing something special. Send staff home an hour early, organise a special family focused staff or community event, perhaps review your family friendly policies to see if there is room for improvement.
The Families Commission is providing pages on it’s website www.nzfamilies.org.nz where you can find information regarding Families Day, order posters and stickers, and pick up tips on how to hold an event.
