Horizon Therapeutics plc (Nasdaq: HZNP) announced today that it
has been named to Great Place to Work’s 2020 Best Workplaces for
Parents list, which highlights companies that have created
consistently positive experiences for working parents, especially
in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Horizon is honored to receive this recognition during what has
been an unprecedented and difficult year for working parents and
caregivers,” said Tim Walbert, chairman, president and chief
executive officer, Horizon. “As a father, I understand the unique
challenges that parents face. Both in ‘normal’ times and during the
pandemic, our goal is always to offer best-in-class benefits and
create progressive programming that supports employees at each
phase of their life.”
To aid parents and caregivers throughout the COVID-19 pandemic,
Horizon launched an internal virtual community, providing free
educational content, tips and ideas for working remotely with
children at home. Additionally, the company announced Little
Horizons, an onsite childcare center set to open January 2021 on
Horizon’s Deerfield, Ill. campus for the children of Horizon
employees. In response to employee-parent needs during the
pandemic, the center will also house the Horizon Study Club, which
will provide in-center supervision for school-age children of
Horizon employees who are attending school virtually.
Horizon has a suite of benefits to support working parents. The
company provides 10 weeks of paid time off for all birth and
adoptive parents, regardless of gender, during parental leave;
offers up to $10,000 in adoption support and gives a Care@Work
membership to each employee, providing access to a caregiver
database and free back-up care support. Horizon also 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 childcare
or tutoring expenses.

list by gathering and analyzing confidential employee experience
feedback from U.S. employees across more than 20 industries – the
