Biz4Kids joins Best Place for Working Parents® network

Douglas County has joined the national Best Place for Working Parents® network, offering real-time designations to businesses of all sizes whose family-friendly policies qualify through a first-of-its-kind, 3-minute online self-assessment. The Douglas ESD and Business Champions for Kids are launching Best Place for Working Parents® Douglas County to offer local business leaders the opportunity to instantly determine whether their organization qualifies to earn a Best Place for Working Parents® designation, positioning them among the leading family-friendly businesses in the U.S.

Originating in Fort Worth in 2020, the confidential online business self-assessment allows businesses of all sizes tout innovative practices that are helping today’s working parents provide for their families and adapt and thrive at work.
