Green Bay, Wis. -- Family Friendly Workplaces is happy to announce that the Greater Green Bay Chamber has earned a silver-level certification as a Family Friendly Workplace, recognizing its commitment to supporting employees' well-being and work-life balance.

“A truly great workplace is one where people are supported as individuals, not just employees. This certification affirms our commitment at the Greater Green Bay Chamber to building a culture that respects balance while encouraging growth," said Lara Fritts, President and CEO of the Greater Green Bay Chamber. "Investing in our people generates lasting value that extends beyond our workplace and into the communities we serve.”

“This certification helps define the standard for values-driven workplaces in our region," said Nikki Schneider, Director of Talent and Education at the Greater Green Bay Chamber. "It strengthens our ability to attract and retain talent and sends a clear message that supporting people is essential to long-term success. We hope other organizations in Greater Green Bay will follow our lead.”

The Greater Green Bay Chamber earned this certification after a comprehensive evaluation of its workplace policies, including flexible work options, parental leave, healthcare benefits, and family-centric support programs. As a certified employer, the Greater Green Bay Chamber is now entitled to use the Family Friendly Workplaces logo in its talent attraction and retention work, as well as access a range of other benefits. 

“We’re proud to recognize the Greater Green Bay Chamber as a Family Friendly Workplace,” said Neil Kline, Executive Director of Family Friendly Workplaces. “Their certification leads the way in northeast Wisconsin, and we believe it is a major encouragement to other employers in the region to consider certification themselves.”

FFW is a 501(c)3 nonprofit based in Baldwin that certifies nearly 75 employers across Wisconsin as it works to engage employers and communities in an effort to address Wisconsin’s long-term workforce shortage.
