Working Mother magazine today recognized Unilever U.S. as one of
the 2016 “Working Mother 100 Best Companies” for its outstanding
leadership in creating progressive programs for its work force, in
the areas of advancement of women, flexibility, child care and paid
parental leave. The 100 Best Companies are featured in the
October/November issue of Working Mother and on
workingmother.com.
“Working parents face many unique challenges. We are honored to
be recognized for supporting all of our incredible parents at
Unilever,” said Mike Clementi, Unilever North America Vice
President of Human Resources. “Providing an inclusive workplace for
our employees is critical to our growth as a company. By offering
the resources, policies and programs parents need to be successful
both at work and at home, we are empowering all our employees to
perform at their best across the organization. In the past year, we
made great strides in supporting our employees, including signing
the White House Equal Pay Pledge and increasing our maternity leave
benefit. While we are proud of the progress we have made, there is
still much to do to advance this important agenda. We are honored
to be recognized by Working Mother.”
Jennifer Owens, Editorial Director of Working Mother Media,
says, “For 31 years, Working Mother has tracked the progress of
companies that lead in creating a supportive workplace for
America’s families. Now more than ever, with changing family
dynamics, parental benefits are a key weapon in the war for talent.
These companies aim to create the culture that attract the best
talent.”
Subha Barry, Vice President, General Manager, Working Mother
Media, says, “This year’s class of winning companies goes the extra
mile to support working moms and all diverse families. In 2016,
fully paid leave offerings have grown to an average of 9 weeks, up
from 8 last year. The Working Mother 100 Best Companies continues
to pave the way for employers nationwide to support their
employees, both personally and professionally.”

Company, Unilever will participate to celebrate the power and
pervasiveness of workplace flexibility. Each year, more and more
