Activating the Family Audit certification process

The Family Audit certification is a managerial tool available to public and private organisations of small, medium and large size (in accordance with the Provincial Council resolution no. 304 of 28 February 2025), which intend to certify their commitment to adopting measures aimed at favouring work-life balance, equal opportunities and, more generally, organisational wellbeing.

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