Horizon Therapeutics plc (NASDAQ: HZNP) announced today that it
has been named to FORTUNE Magazine’s 2019 “Best Workplaces for
Parents” list, which highlights companies that best support
employees, regardless of parenting status, as well as offer quality
benefits including generous parental leave, adoption, flexible
scheduling and dependent health care options. Horizon ranked 19 out
of 50 companies.
“As both a father, I feel strongly about creating and
maintaining a work environment that supports all our employees at
each stage of their lives,” said Timothy Walbert, chairman,
president and chief executive officer, Horizon. “Our goal is to
provide quality, best-in-class benefits so that our employees are
able to excel both as members of our Horizon team and as
parents.”
Horizon recently expanded its parental leave policy giving all
birth and adoptive parents, regardless of gender, 10 weeks of paid
time off and the flexibility to design a leave that works best for
their families. In addition, Horizon provides up to $10,000 in
adoption support, as well as a membership to Care@Work, which gives
employees access to a caregiver database and free back up care
support. In addition, Horizon offers a scholarship fund that
provides 25 awards for children of Horizon employees for post-high
school education and a Make It Personal account, where employees
receive up to $500 to use toward education, wellness or charitable
activities.
