NEW YORK, Dec. 2, 2020
NEW YORK, Dec. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Maven, the world's largest virtual clinic for women's and family health, and Great Place to Work®, the global authority on workplace culture, today released "Parents at the Best Workplaces™ - The Largest Ever-Study of Working Parents."
With nearly 80% of employers reporting that supporting parents is a top benefits priority, "Parents at the Best Workplaces™ - The Largest Ever-Study of Working Parents" provides comprehensive, data-driven insights into how the Best Workplaces for Parents are supporting families — including how companies are structuring fertility and child care benefits, tackling burnout, rolling out innovative new solutions to address the needs of parents during the pandemic, and more. The report, which is available on www.mavenclinic.com and www.greatplacetowork.com, represents the sentiments of more than 850,000 employees, including 440,000 parents, across 1,244 U.S.-headquartered companies.
"With two million women dropping out of the workforce so far this year, we've rolled back decades of progress on gender diversity — a reality that has massive implications for businesses for years to come," said Kate Ryder, Founder and CEO of Maven. "Employers need real, proven strategies and solutions, and they need them now. As this report makes clear, the best solutions are not perks — in fact, the pandemic has revealed how hollow much of that was. Instead, what stands out are real investments in stretched populations that help attract and retain diverse perspectives at all levels of a company, which is ultimately what drives innovation and growth."
"When companies are great for parents and aspiring parents, they tend to be great for everyone else as well," said Michael Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work. "And those high-trust, parent friendly workplaces aren't just better for people. They're better for business – with higher innovation and productivity. And they're better for the world. Because every time a working parent can shift from their job duties to care for their kids in a kind, patient way – rather than a stressed-out way – we all win."
The report is part of a multi-year partnership between Maven and Great Place to Work, combining Maven's leadership in family benefits and Great Place to Work's deep knowledge of workplace culture to empower businesses to build data-driven strategies to support employees. "Parents at the Best Workplaces™ - The Largest Ever-Study of Working Parents" also coincides with the launch of Great Place to Work's annual Best Workplaces for Parents™ list, celebrating the 100 companies whose support for parents has stood out during an unprecedented and challenging year for employees with caregiving duties.
