MENLO PARK, Calif.,
Sept. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Global consulting firm Protiviti has been named by Working
Mother as one of its 2020 '100 Best Companies' and as one of the
2020 'Best Companies for Working Dads.' This is the third year that
Protiviti has made the 100 Best Companies list, which recognizes
organizations representing more than two million employees in the
U.S. that are committed to women's advancement, diversity and
inclusion and a family-friendly workplace culture. The Best
Companies for Working Dads list highlights companies that offer
gender-neutral or paternity leave, taking into account actual time
taken by working fathers for the birth or adoption of a child.
"Working parents today face greater hurdles than ever before, as
they cope with the impact of the pandemic on their work and family
lives," said Susan Haseley, an
executive vice president of Protiviti and global leader of its
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiative. "Protiviti's leaders
work closely with our working parents to understand their unique
challenges and support them with the enhanced benefits and
flexibility they need, which also empowers them to provide
world-class service to our clients. Our goal at Protiviti is to
provide a work environment where everyone can thrive, even in
challenging times."
Protiviti offers a wide range of benefits for its working
parents, including up to 10 weeks of paid gender-neutral leave for
the birth or adoption of a child; an adoption assistance program;
back-up child care; employee networking groups for women and for
new parents; a lactation support service and breast milk shipment
program; and a flexible work schedule to accommodate individual
circumstances. In response to the coronavirus pandemic, Protiviti
has enhanced its dependent care program to cover 'crisis care' and
provides a wide range of resources to help parents currently
working from home, including additional flexibility in work
scheduling and extra paid time off to care for family members
affected by COVID-19 (also available to employees who are not
parents).
"Our 100 Best Companies are the standard of excellence and
continue to pave the way with the work they are doing on behalf of
working parents and caregivers in the U.S.," said Subha V. Barry, president of Working Mother
Media.
Added Barry, "Millennial dads continue to be outspoken about
wanting to be involved parents and needing the support of their
companies in order to do so. These trendsetting organizations
strive to create an inclusive environment for all working parents,
and we applaud their efforts in helping to erase the stigma
attached to men taking full parental leave and utilizing flexible
schedules to be more involved on the home front. By doing so, it
helps moms succeed both at home and at work and puts them on more
equal footing in the process."
2020 winners of the 100 Best Companies and Best Companies for
Working Dads accolades will be recognized in the October/November
edition of Working Mother magazine and celebrated during two
virtual conferences taking place on October
13-14 and October 28,
respectively. Protiviti's 'Working Mother of the Year,' Director
Jessica Harrison, and 'Working Dad
of the Year,' Managing Director Jose
Behar, will also be recognized at these events for their
leadership and advocacy for working parents within the firm.
Protiviti was also recently named to the 2020 Diversity Best
Practices Inclusion Index, based on information provided in the
firm's Working Mother application and as a result of its dedication
to diversity, equity and inclusion. To be listed on the index,
organizations were scored on their diversity and inclusion
practices in recruitment; retention and advancement; organizational
culture; and demographic transparency.
