We're delighted to have won the Best for All-Round Flexibility Award at the Working Families Best Practice Awards 2026.
The awards celebrate employers who are setting the standard for flexible, people-first working cultures where everyone can thrive. They recognise organisations that go above and beyond in supporting parents and carers, through inclusive and flexible workplace practices.
The judges praised our genuine all-round nature of approach – recognising a culture of flexibility that permeates every level and every stage of the employee journey, built on trust and dignity, and shaped continuously by the real needs of colleagues including carers, disabled and neurodivergent staff. The judges felt ILF Scotland was a truly worthy all-rounder.
Aileen McNiven, Director of Business Services, said: “ILF Scotland is dedicated to being a life-friendly employer, where people are empowered to balance their professional and personal responsibilities. In turn, this helps us deliver better outcomes for disabled people in Scotland and Northern Ireland. We are so proud to be recognised by Working Families for the work that we do.”
Jane van Zyl, Chief Executive of Working Families said: “Every year, the Best Practice Awards reminds us that putting people first is not a compromise but a commitment that pays dividends for everyone. A huge congratulations to each of our finalists, who have all made a deliberate choice to do things differently, with results that speak for themselves.”
