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.
