UNICEF's "Family-Friendly Workplaces" toolkit makes the case that flexible work, childcare support, and parental leave aren't just an HR policy, they're a win for employees, a win for business, and a win for the wider economy, backed by data from businesses across Asia and Africa. We unpack what the numbers say, and what it actually takes for a business, especially an SME, to put this into practice.

We discuss:

How childcare support can cut turnover among working mothers by 15–30%


Adapting flexible policies for factory and manufacturing settings without hurting production targets
