The Austin Chamber of Commerce is proud to be selected as a Best Place for Working Parents business based on our family-friendly policies, employee resources and programs that help support our working parents.

“The Austin Chamber of Commerce being designated as a Best Place for Working Parents is a testimony to our family-friendly work policies that best support our staff,” Laura Huffman, president and CEO, Austin Chamber of Commerce, said. “The past two years have shown us how to be flexible in the face of adversity, specifically for our working parents, and I am proud that we have established these policies that recognize and ensure that all of our staff is performing at their best.”

We are also pleased to partner with Early Matters Greater Austin to encourage our Chamber members and Austin area businesses to take the Best Place for Working Parents Assessment by February 18, 2022. Employers participating in the assessment can qualify for recognition based on workplace policies that include company paid health coverage, paid time off, parental leave, flexible hours, remote work and other family-friendly policies that help attract, retain and support current and future employees.
