Six things a family-friendly workplace does in practice.
To be certified, a company shows evidence for all six. The criteria are the same for every company, client or not.
Flexible scheduling
Core hours or flexible start and finish times are available in practice for suitable roles.
We check: written policy and a team example.
Remote or hybrid options
Roles that can be done remotely are offered as remote or hybrid.
We check: job ads and policy.
Parental leave
A written parental-leave policy that covers all parents, including adoptive parents.
We check: the policy document.
Return-to-work support
Career pauses aren't held against candidates, and returners get a structured onboarding.
We check: hiring guidance and onboarding plan.
Caregiver cover
Teams have a cover plan, so a caregiving emergency doesn't count against the employee.
We check: the cover process.
Manager awareness
Managers know how to lead flexible teams fairly, through a guide or short training.
We check: the guide or training record.

Get your badge
Receive your certificate, badge files and register listing. Renew each year.
Check a badge is real.
Every certificate has an ID. If a company's ID isn't on this list, its badge isn't valid. Listings are removed when a certificate lapses.

About the badge.
Is this an official or government accreditation?
No. It is awarded by momxforce against the criteria published on this page. Its value comes from clear criteria, yearly renewal and the public register, so candidates can see exactly what it means.
Do we have to hire through momxforce?
Not for certification: any company can apply. The free Partner badge is for companies with an active momxforce placement.
Is it only about hiring mothers?
No. The criteria cover all parents and caregivers, and the badge never implies a preference for any group of candidates.
How long does it take?
Usually about two weeks after we receive your self-assessment and policies.
What if we stop meeting the criteria?
Your certificate isn't renewed, and your listing is removed from the register. You can reapply once the gaps are fixed.
Where can we use the badge?
On your careers page, job ads, LinkedIn, email signatures and recruitment materials, for as long as your certificate is valid.
