The Royal Foundation Business Taskforce, led by Britain’s Princess Kate, has published a report advocating for companies to adopt more family-friendly practices. This report highlights the potential economic benefits of investing in children’s early years, estimating a yearly boost of over £45 billion for the UK economy. Princess Kate expressed her passion for the charity’s impact on current and future generations, encouraging companies to join the cause.
Eight major British companies participated in the report, exploring ways to support employees in being more involved in their children’s lives. This includes measures like practical support, flexible work options, improved access to education and childcare for young children. Despite her enthusiasm for the plan, a spokesperson for Kensington Palace emphasized that Princess Kate, still in recovery from surgery and chemotherapy, is not ready to resume public duties until medically cleared by her doctors. The princess remains focused on her recovery and private life, with public service continuing to be her priority.
