Abstract: Abstract UNICEF suggested implementing a Family Friendly Policy (FFP) to save future generations, promote gender equality, longer life expectancy, reduce poverty, and sustainable growth. FFP can promote work-life balance, healthier, happier families, and better job performance. Therefore, the human resource department and executive members must pay attention to applying FFP in the workplace. There are four dimensions of FFP; Maternity protection and paid parental leave; Nutritional and breastfeeding support; Accessible, quality childcare, and flexible work arrangements; Social protection and income. So, this study aims to explore the FFP of any workplace in Kepulauan Riau, Indonesia, which has implemented and applied these four dimensions. The method of this study used an explanatory sequential mixed-method design. The data was gathered using a questionnaire, documentation and interviewing several human resource personnel. Results showed that the implementation of FFP in Riau Island has been outstanding in providing paid maternity leave and flexible work arrangements. Whereas paid parental leave, family allowances, and family health protection are “adequately implemented” and need particular attention to improve their performance. While the breastfeeding room, children’s play corner, and accessible and quality childcare attributes require implementation of particular policies to improve their poor condition. In conclusion, we suggest several implications for government, businesses or organizations, as well as small and medium-sized businesses.
