Once you have signed the Time to Change Employer Pledge, you will have access to our Employers Accelerator Programme which includes:

• Invitations to a series of Masterclasses with sessions run by employers and lots of examples of good practice (details below)

• Support and introductions to enable you to build connections with other employers

• Briefings on our key campaigns to help you roll them out in your workplace

• Support and guidance from the Employers Team throughout the year on request

Please note, our Masterclasses are only open to organisations who have signed the pledge. Priority is given to organisations who have joined the programme in the last 12 months, but wherever possible we aim to extend this support to any pledged organisations who need to readdress the campaign in their workplace.
