Family Resource Center recognized as ‘Family Friendly Workplace’

Family Resource Center St. Croix Valley is honored to announce that they have earned Gold Level certification as a Family Friendly Workplace™ from the United Way St. Croix Valley’s Success by 6 initiative. This certification recognizes businesses that actively invest in programs and practices that support employees and their families.

“As an organization that provides education, resources and support to families, it’s only natural that we would pursue Family Friendly Workplace™ certification, and we’re thrilled to be recognized at the Gold Level,” said Executive Director Patty Draxler. “We’re committed to our employees through numerous policies and procedures such as generous vacation, holiday and sick leave, flexible scheduling to attend to family needs, and a flex benefit plan.”

Family Friendly Workplace™ is a program developed specifically for employers in Pierce, Polk and St. Croix Counties. Businesses can achieve certification by earning points for family friendly practices. There are three certification levels, bronze, silver and gold. Certification fees paid by the business support educational programs and service delivery for early childhood development.
