Parents & Carers at RSM Australia
Our Commitments
At RSM, we are deeply committed to supporting parents and families in achieving a healthy work-life balance. We understand the unique challenges and responsibilities that come with raising a family, and we strive to create a workplace culture that values and respects the needs of parents and carers. Our commitments include providing comprehensive parental leave policies, offering flexible work arrangements, promoting a supportive and inclusive environment, and continuously seeking ways to enhance our support systems for parents and families.
Our Actions
To translate our commitments into tangible actions, we have implemented a range of initiatives and programs that directly support parents and families at RSM. We offer generous parental leave policies that provide employees with the necessary time and support to bond with their newborns or newly adopted children. Additionally, we provide flexible work options such as part-time schedules, remote work opportunities, and job-sharing arrangements, allowing parents to better manage their work and family responsibilities. We have established dedicated wellness rooms in our offices, ensuring a comfortable and private space for breastfeeding and expressing. Furthermore, we have partnered with organisations like Parents At Work to provide access to resources, webinars, and courses that address various aspects of work-life balance, parenting, and caregiving.
Our Progress
We take pride in our ongoing progress in supporting parents and families at RSM. Through regular feedback and engagement with our employees, we continuously evaluate and enhance our programs and policies to better meet the evolving needs of our workforce. We are proud to be a certified Family Friendly Workplace and our adherence to the National Work + Family Standards serve as benchmarks for our progress. We have seen positive outcomes, including increased employee satisfaction, higher retention rates, and improved work-life harmony for our parents and carers. However, we recognise that there is always room for improvement, and we remain dedicated to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where parents and families can thrive both personally and professionally.
