It\u2019s a hugely successful initiative that Employees Matter has rolled out across major UK corporates over the past few years, and as word spreads, momentum is growing.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re new to the BYCTWD concept, here are a few key points:<\/p>\n
Why should we hold one?<\/strong><\/p>\n Is there a specific date for Bring Your Child to Work Day?<\/strong><\/p>\n No.\u00a0 Companies choose a day that is convenient for them, usually during one of the half term breaks or school holidays.<\/p>\n How does this differ to when individual members of staff ask if they can bring in their child to the office for the day?<\/strong><\/p>\n This is totally different. Many schools ask parents to take their child into work for the day as part of a \u2018Take Your Daughter\/Son to Work Day.\u2019\u00a0 This is like work shadowing. A formal Bring Your Child to Work Day opens up the workplace to a group of children enjoying fun and educational programmes together in a formal setting on one day.<\/p>\n It sounds like a lot of work \u2013 is it?<\/strong><\/p>\n Clients can have as much or as little input into the day as they choose. Booking a room in the office and sending an invitation out to the company to participate is the minimum requirement.<\/p>\n Do you only run these days in London?<\/strong><\/p>\n No, we travel around the country and we have held days in Basingstoke, Bristol, Glasgow, Belfast, Liverpool, London and Reading \u2013 so far.<\/p>\n Do your staff have the relevant safety and security checks?<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes. Health and safety is hugely important to us. We only work with leaders who are fully DBS checked and a member of the team is always first aid trained.<\/p>\n What can a typical day look like?<\/strong><\/p>\n Days are centred on a theme so that the children build up to a final crescendo.\u00a0 Everything we do is linked to a number of activities throughout the day.\u00a0 We provide all the equipment and resources and bring along games for some down-time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It\u2019s a hugely successful initiative that Employees Matter has rolled out across major UK corporates over the past few years, and as word spreads, momentum is growing.
