Family Friendly Business Award

The Las Cruces Green Chamber is pleased to partner with Family Friendly New Mexico to share with our members the Family Friendly Business Award®. This is a fantastic way to either have your business recognized or to have access to assistance to help you become more family friendly.

Your business may already be eligible for official recognition as a New Mexico Family Friendly Business. The application is quick, taking only 15 minutes if you’re familiar with your company’s workplace policies.

The New Mexico Family Friendly Business Award® was formed by the Task Force on Work Life Balance to develop an awards program that would both recognize New Mexico employers and businesses that offer family friendly employee benefits and promote increasing the number of businesses with family centered policies and workforce access to them. The purpose of the award is to recognize and support businesses that adopt and implement family friendly policies for their employees.
