Zoetis Inc. (NYSE: ZTS) today announced that it has been named
one of Working Mother magazine’s "100 Best Companies for Working
Mothers" for the seventh consecutive year. The publication selects
the top 100 companies in the U.S. that lead in areas of female
representation and advancement, benefits, parental leave, childcare
and flexible work arrangements.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has presented unprecedented challenges to
all of our colleagues, but especially our working parents this
year. They have been called on like never before to juggle
childcare, remote schooling, family needs and work demands all
amidst uncertain, stressful and changing times,” said Roxanne
Lagano, Executive Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer and
Global Operations at Zoetis. “Now more than ever, we have had to
demonstrate the support, flexibility and empathy that we stand for
as an employer. We are committed to providing our colleagues with
comprehensive benefits, childcare assistance, advancement programs,
and a supportive and flexible culture built on our Core Beliefs. We
are honored to once again be named a top company for working
mothers.”
Zoetis ranked highly by Working Mother magazine for its female
representation within the company, career advancement
opportunities, benefits and work-life initiatives, and flexible
work arrangements. Recently, Zoetis shared its aspirations to
continue to increase representation of women in leadership roles
and diversity overall. Half of Zoetis’ executive team are women,
including the company’s CEO, Kristin Peck.
Renee Peng Named Working Mother of the Year at Zoetis
As part of this recognition, Zoetis named Renee Peng its 2020
Working Mother of the Year. A dedicated leader and mother of two
young boys, Matteo, 3 and Lucas, 6 months, Renee leads the
company’s largest diagnostics manufacturing facility in Union City,
Calif. “Living through these unprecedented times as an essential
worker, I’ve had many conversations with colleagues about their
fears, especially when it comes to potentially putting their loved
ones in harm’s way. This is something that hit close to home for
me, as my father passed away from COVID-19 in April, and I have
very small children at home,” said Renee. “Through these difficult
times, I’ve been able to help manage colleagues’ fears with the
support of Zoetis by actively listening to the things that worry
them most and implementing solutions wherever possible. It has also
been rewarding to know that my colleagues and I are playing a
critical role in keeping diagnostic products on veterinarians’
shelves, which in turn keeps pets healthy, at a time when they are
a source of joy and hope for so many people."
