its commitment to providing colleagues with opportunities for
growth, advancement and work-life balance
Zoetis Inc. (NYSE:ZTS) today announced that it has been named
among the top 10 on Working Mother magazine’s "100 Best Companies
for Working Mothers" list. The publication selects the top 100
companies in the U.S. that have demonstrated their commitment to
progressive workplace programs such as child care, flexibility,
advancement and paid family leave.
“Zoetis is honored to be named one of Working Mother magazine’s
top ten companies in our first year as an independent public
company,” said Roxanne Lagano, Executive Vice President and Chief
Human Resources Officer at Zoetis. “We know our colleagues are
critical to our success and vital to our customers. In establishing
Zoetis, we have built a culture that truly supports our people and
recognizes their importance. This means we are committed to the
success of working mothers at Zoetis and provide a range of
benefits and family-friendly policies to foster a supportive
working environment for all our colleagues.”
Zoetis was ranked highly by Working Mother for its benefits and
work-life programs. These include flexible work arrangements,
health and wellness offerings, back-up child care, employee
discounts, paid time off, leaves of absence, adoption assistance
and tuition aid programs. Zoetis was also acknowledged for its
Women’s Council networking group, a grass-roots organization of
approximately 500 U.S. colleagues who share ways to address
work-life balance and financial planning for families.
“The Working Mother 100 Best Companies are leaders in the
advancement of women by supporting their need to integrate family
and work successfully. We are excited to see Zoetis debut as one of
our top ten companies in its very first year as an independent
public company,” said Carol Evans, President, Working Mother Media.
“Women now make up 50% of the workforce in the U.S. We need to make
sure they have the support to be outstanding moms as well as great
employees. Zoetis has clearly demonstrated its support for working
moms."
Betty Mason Named Working Mother of the Year for
Zoetis
Zoetis will be recognized at the Working Mother 100 Best
Companies Gala Awards Dinner on Oct. 15th at the Marriott Marquis
in New York City. The event is part of the Work Life Congress
annual conference held from Oct. 13th-15th.
Betty Mason, Site Leader at the Zoetis manufacturing facility in
Lincoln, Neb., will be acknowledged at the event as the Zoetis 2014
Working Mother of the Year. Over a 27-year career with Zoetis and
its predecessor Pfizer, Ms. Mason has worked on the manufacturing
and development of animal health vaccines and medicines, while
raising 13-year-old twins, Jacob and Emily. Her twins were born
three months premature and the family faced months of medical
challenges. “The company enabled me to do what I needed to do,”
said Ms. Mason. “I took six months off, started back on a part-time
schedule and was able to be there for my kids when they needed
me.”
Ms. Mason is a role model for her contributions to the community
as well. She served on the boards of her church and local United
Way chapter. She also finds time to volunteer and coach sports
teams. “It’s important for me to be an active member of the
community. I want to be a good example to my children and
co-workers about the importance of caring for people,” she
said.
Working Mother magazine will feature a profile on Zoetis in the
October/November issue and online today at workingmother.com. The
