The city of Farmington was honored for its workplace policies by Family Friendly New Mexico, a statewide initiative developed to recognize companies that have adopted policies that give New Mexico businesses an advantage in recruiting and retaining the best employees.
This is the fifth consecutive year the city has received the award and the first time it’s received the new Platnum designation.
The city offers a full range of benefits, including vacation and sick leave accrual, health insurance, flex spending accounts, a wellness program, life insurance, tuition reimbursement and an employee assistance program.
The Family Friendly New Mexico initiative offers training, support and resources to businesses on how to implement more family-friendly policies; provides recognition to companies that offer their employees family-friendly benefits, and acts as a resource and clearinghouse of information for businesses and community leaders as they develop policies on issues such as paid family leave and childcare assistance.
