FRC Certification as a Family-Responsible Company

MRW, the first Spanish company to receive FRC certification as a Family-Responsible Company.

In the following sections you can see all the information referring to this certification.

 

Chapter 1: Family-Responsible Company

The company, as a corporation in society, has rights and obligations that it must harmonise with its mission and the objective of creating wealth. Its social responsibility begins with those closest: the employees and their families.

This is why a new reference standard has been developed in business management and a Family-Responsible Company (FRC) Model of certification for public and private companies and administrations.

Its main objective is to facilitate and improve the way in which employees reconcile their family and working life.

 

Chapter 2: Certification process

The certification process is held and carried out by the Fundación + Familia through a certification committee set up for this purpose.

The Fundación + Familia, set up in April 2003, came about as a social and charitable initiative for protecting and promoting the family.

Among its aims as a foundation, it pursues an improvement in the balance between family and company, creating favourable conditions for a change in the paradigm of government and management of companies, as well as the way that society understands this issue.

An external audit is an essential condition prior to certification.

 

Chapter 3: FRC policies

FRC policies are the general guidelines from MRW senior management on the issue and are, one of the main parts of the Model. They supply the contents and outline the MRW reference framework.

The different formal policies that are considered family responsible can be grouped into several categories:

1. Job Stability: policies aimed at eliminating or minimizing certain effects of modern society such as the zero rotation philosophy
2. Job Flexibility: policies through which strict working hours and checks on attendance and hours worked are replaced by flexible working hours, intensive working days, 38 hour week, tele-working
3. Professional Support: policies through which the organization gets involved in its employees' professional development in order to provide them with the help they need from the point of view of and with the aim of balancing and reconciliation. The main measures for consideration in this point would be aspects such as training, internal promotion, rewards for ideas, etc.
4. Family Support: services that the company has designed to help employees in their personal and family life such as extension of breastfeeding times, nursery vouchers, free deliveries, commercial offers, PIA Plan
5. Support for Integration and Equal Opportunities, particularly in terms of gender, with special attention for collectives that are currently socially disadvantaged and for equal opportunities between women and men in their profession, measures such as the agreement with Fundosa or the fact that MRW forms part of various projects for equality such as the Optima Programme or "Projecte PI" (Pro-Equality)
6. Flexible installations: services available to the employee, for example the use of library, gymnasium, leisure/internet room, free parking and office canteen
