Great Place To Work has revealed this year’s top 100 Best Workplaces for working parents.

The competition for attracting and retaining working parents is more intense than ever, according to Great Place To Work. In the wake of the Great Resignation, employers must rapidly evolve their practices and strategies to meet the needs of working moms and dads, or risk losing their talent to other organisations that do.

This year’s Best Workplaces for Parents are doing just that, as reported. With high-trust, these parent-friendly workplaces aren’t just better for people, they’re better for business too.

SUPPORTING WORKING PARENTS NEEDS

This year’s Best Workplaces for Parents top 100 list is based on analysis of confidential survey responses from more than six million US employees; and compares the experiences of parents and non-parents within each organisation, as well as the available benefits and support programmes. Around 85% of Great Place to Work’s list evaluation was based on what parents say about their experiences of trust and reaching their full human potential at work, no matter who they are or what they do for the business. The remaining 15% percent was based on how parenting status influenced the degree to which employees from all backgrounds are equally involved in innovation opportunities, and believe that company values are lived and that management is effective. The survey also took into account an organisation’s paid parental leave and adoption benefits, its approach to flexible working schedules, and its childcare and dependent healthcare benefits.

“Congratulations to Great Place to Work’s Best Workplaces for Parents,” stated Michael C Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work. “The pandemic presented parents with unique challenges that impacted their work- and home-lives. But these companies paid close attention to the experiences of their working parents and ensured that they didn’t have to choose between a thriving career and being present for their children.”
