Solarponics Family-Friendly Workplace Blue Diamond
2025 SLO County Family-Friendly Workplaces Award Recipient
Solarponics has once again achieved a Family-Friendly Workplace designation. This time, earning the Blue Diamond level award.
San Luis Obispo (SLO) County Family-Friendly Workplaces works in collaboration with all five San Luis Obispo County chambers of commerce and is sponsored by First 5 SLO County. The purpose of the program is to help businesses attract and sustain a strong, inclusive local workforce through the implementation of family-friendly workplace practices, and is built on the belief that increasing family-friendliness is essential to support business success, grow our economy, and advance diversity, equity and inclusion in the workforce. The program provides resources & support to all businesses throughout SLO County free of charge.
The SLO County Family-Friendly Workplaces Program and Toolkit are both products of The We Are The Care Initiative (WATC). A grassroots effort, WATC arose from a desperate need for access to quality and affordable child care in SLO County. Stewarded by First 5 SLO County, this Initiative is a collective of early childhood professionals, people from the business community, government employees and officials, and families who are collaborating to address our local childcare crisis. WATC believes that the suggested supportive practices increase organizational productivity AND support the physical and emotional health of employees and their families. We hope you consider steps to increase family-friendliness at your workplace. If you are interested in joining this initiative and to find out more about our work, that is available HERE or email us.
This award program is not only meant to celebrate employers who have implemented family-friendly policies, but also to uplift employers working towards more family-friendly practices while providing a valuable recruitment tool for local businesses. Congratulations to our 2025 Awardees! – Solarponics: Blue Diamond Level, 2025.
