Activating the Family Audit certification maintenance process

The Family Audit certification is a managerial tool available to public organisations (small, medium, and large) that intend to certify their commitment to adopting measures to promote work-life balance, equal opportunities, and more generally, organisational wellbeing.

The Family Audit standard mark is owned by the Autonomous Province of Trento, which acts as the certifying body.

The maintenance process commits the organisation to guarantee for three years the level of work-life balance achieved with the previous process.
