Employees say:"I love that we are given complete flexibility with remote work. As a parent, this is a HUGE benefit for me. I am able to provide at home nanny care for my child and don't have a commute adding unnecessary time to a day that is already too short."

Cisco Systems

Employees say:"In my job at Nvidia, I get to work with multiple teams all at once. It is nice because I get to learn many things and get to experience working with many people across different teams. We have very great donation matching program which is unlike other companies I've worked for. I feel like even when I work a lot, I can make a difference and contribute to causes I care about. Nvidia is also about life-long learning so there are many programs for completing higher education degree."

Nvidia

Employees say:"The employees really take the Hilton values to heart and even at a corporate level hospitality is in everyone's blood. I almost never feel like I'm bothering someone with a "stupid question" or when I reach out to another team just to network or figure out more about what they do. I feel like our team especially feels safe to share and be vulnerable on larger team calls and with each other. Also, as a new mother, Hilton and my manager are SO flexible for doctors appts or if she needs to be with me on a call because she's sick. With ample vacation time too I really feel like I'm encouraged to recharge for myself and to connect with my family."

Hilton

Employees say:"Bain does a wonderful job of hiring people who are team and solution oriented. Never have I had someone turn me down when I asked for help with a project or to take off to support myself or my family. The culture is full of Bainies who will go the extra mile outside of work hours, being a part of the Bain Band or Summer Meeting Video Team, all to make our office wide events that much more enjoyable and inspiring for the greater Bain family."

Bain & Co.

Employees say:"As a parent or person in a family - the tools that Amex provides for people to grow their families is tremendous. There's comprehensive coverage to support significant costs of adoption, surrogacy and conception/maternity needs. Followed by a super generous family leave policy to enable all parents to be present for their new family members that arrive through birth or adoption. Paid family leave during such a pivotal growth moment is rare in this country, and the length of time Amex provides for its employees is truly amazing."

American Express

Employees say:"Having a family and living far away from the physical office location, I LOVE and appreciate the hybrid work model that allows me to do the job I love in a way where I have a healthy work/life balance. Our leadership giving us and fighting for that flexibility holds tremendous value for me as a working mom."

Comcast

Employees say:"Fannie Mae cares greatly about work-life balance and offers flexible work options including, remote, hybrid and on-site work options, leave for new parents and grandparents, competitive vacation allowances, flexible Fridays, home purchase and home catastrophe leave, and caregiver leave."

Fannie Mae

Employees say:"I have been here for many years, and I have seen a lot of progress over the years. When I had my children I thought the time off and support we received was fantastic, but it's even better now. Not only do mothers get paid time off, but so do fathers. And the benefits also apply to parents who are adopting! I have also seen first-hand, the support our leaders, and their families, receive in cases of death or disability. The sense of partnership is truly extraordinary, in my opinion."

Deloitte

Employees say:"Management truly takes work life balance seriously and wants us to enjoy our time with our loved ones. They also really take a 'let's try it!' attitude towards new strategies and want to genuinely learn from our clients to better meet their needs."

Zillow Group

Employees say:"Great maternity leave benefits and phased return. The flexibility to continue pumping to feed my baby and to care for sick children makes being a full-time working mom possible."

To produce the Fortune Best Workplaces for Parents list, Fortune partnered with the people analytics firm <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://greatplacetowork.com">Great Place to Work</a>®. Great Place to Work has been surveying employees around the world about their workplace experiences for 30 years. Great Place to Work has developed a set of themes and metrics that not only reveal whether employees feel their workplace is great, but also predict retention, agility, and overall business success. &nbsp;Using their proprietary Trust Index™ survey, Great Place to Work measures the core of what they know creates great workplaces — key behaviors that drive trust in management, connection with colleagues, and loyalty to the company. &nbsp;The survey enables employees to share confidential quantitative and qualitative feedback about their organization’s culture by responding to 60 statements on a five-point scale and answering two open-ended questions. &nbsp;Employees tell Great Place to Work whether or not leaders are accessible, if they communicate honestly and clearly, and if their actions match their words. Employees tell if they feel respected as individuals, if they receive support for their well-being and personal development, and if they have opportunities to contribute, and appreciation for their work. They tell whether they believe their company is fair related to pay, profits, promotions, recognition, favoritism, and opportunities for growth. They tell if they are proud of their work, their team, and their company, if they feel they make a difference, and if their work is meaningful. And they tell if they enjoy the people they work with, if they feel cared for, and if they can be themselves. &nbsp;List rankings are based on this employee feedback, which is analyzed to determine the extent to which this experience is shared by the full workforce. Great Place to Work measures the differences in survey responses across demographic groups and roles within each organization to assess both the quality and consistency of the employee experience. Statements are weighted according to their relevance in describing the most important aspects of an equitable workplace. &nbsp;The best companies create great work experiences not just for full-time managers, but also for their part-time employees on the front lines, for those who’ve just joined and those who’ve spent their whole career there, for every race and ethnicity, gender, neurotype, or other demographic in the organization Great Place to Work looks at it all. Companies with the broadest set of employees who report positive workplace experience receive the highest rankings on lists.In order to analyze employee feedback in context, Great Place to Work collects information from each company including their industry, revenue, size, and employee demographics. They identify the organizations that offer the most generous, caring and innovative cultures reflecting a genuine commitment to meet the diversity of their people’s needs inside and outside the workplace as validated by what employees themselves report in survey results.Because employee feedback drives these rankings, surveys must meet strict requirements for how they are distributed and the percentage of employees who respond to ensure they accurately represent honest feedback from the company’s full population. &nbsp;To be eligible for the Fortune Best Workplaces for Parents list, companies must be Great Place to Work-Certified™ and have at least 50 responses from parents in the US. Companies with 10 to 999 people are considered for the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://fortune.com/ranking/best-small-workplaces-parents/2024">small and medium categor</a>y; companies with 1,000 employees or more are considered for the large category. &nbsp;In the last year, Great Place to Work surveyed companies employing 8.2 million people in the U.S. and received 1.3 million survey responses. Of those, nearly 635,000 responses were received from employees at companies who were eligible for the 2024 Fortune Best Workplaces for Parents list and this list is based on their feedback.To find out more about how to become Great Place to Work Certified™ or to apply to this or other Best Workplaces lists, visit <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://greatplacetowork.com">greatplacetowork.com</a>. &nbsp;
