Family-friendly working is the virtue being sought by the pressure group Parents at Work in candidates for its prize for Britain's Best Boss 2003. Parents at Work chief executive Sarah Jackson said she wants to hear about managers or business owners who encourage flexible working, understand family emergencies and make sure no one is working too long hours. 'We know managers who have found that work-life balance works for their teams are the best persuaders of their peers,' she said. 'So we hope that employees from every size and type of organisation will want to tell the world about their brilliant bosses and the difference they have made to their lives.'
