The ERG was developed in response to the growing number of conversations around the challenges faced by working parents and carers in balancing professional responsibilities with family life. Operations manager Lily Bell and accounts manager Jonathon Cannon-Gierth, both working parents, volunteered to lead the group.
The group is committed to fostering open discussions, hosting community events and sharing resources ensuring that every parent and caregiver has a place to turn for support within the company.
The launch will see a variety of engagement events over the coming months as well as additional training and educational resources being made available.
BaxterStorey will be rolling out a buddy programme to support parents and carers through transition periods, including parental leave, and TRIBE coffee mornings each month to encourage team members to connect in an informal setting.
The company employs more than 5,500 people and caters at more than 600 locations. BaxterStorey is part of the Westbury Street Holdings (WSH) portfolio of food service brands.
