Employees of Frazer-Nash in the UK with caring responsibilities now have access to additional support, as the company joins My Family Care’s Work+Family Space and Backup Care scheme.

Work+Family Space offers updates, advice, and emotional and practical support to help people managing their day-to-day life as a working parent or carer. Its wealth of information for all life stages includes insider guides, blogs and webinars, as well as coaching tools and workable tips. The Backup care scheme provides an app that enables carers to book nannies, nurseries, holiday clubs, childminders, and/or adult or eldercare specialists when and where they need them.

Frazer-Nash Managing Director, Neil McDougall said:

“We recognise that combining work and family responsibilities can be challenging. Drawing upon two of our core values: we care, and we want to do things that matter, we are committed to our colleagues’ and their family’s wellbeing. So we’ve joined My Family Care’s Work+Family Space and Backup Care scheme, to offer them services and resources that could help make their lives run a little more smoothly.

“Through their Frazer-Nash Work+Family Space, our team will be able to access practical support, resources and information to keep them informed, solve a care crisis, or just feel more positive about the challenges they face in juggling family and work commitments.

“The situation in Australia is different, with carer’s leave already in place.  We’d remind those in our Australian business with family back in the UK that this facility is available to them should they need it, and we are looking at what additional steps we might take to support our Australian colleagues.”

These new benefits are a great addition to the portfolio of benefits available to Frazer-Nash Employees, which include options for flexible working, holiday sale and purchase, private healthcare and life assurance, as well as targeted professional development and a bonus scheme linked into company performance.
