Unilever Named to 2015 Working Mother 100 Best Companies
Awarded Recognition for Progressive Workplace Programs
ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Working Mother magazine today named Unilever as one of the 2015
Working Mother 100 Best Companies for its commitment to progressive
workplace programs, including advancement of women, flexibility, child
care and paid parental leave. The 100 Best Companies are featured in the
October/November issue of Working Mother and on workingmother.com.
“Unilever is honored to be included on this prestigious list,” said Mike
Clementi, Unilever North America Vice President of Human Resources. “Our
resources, policies and programs are intended to meet the diverse needs
of our employees to balance family and work priorities. From expectant
mother parking to dependent back-up care and agile working—we are
determined to create an inclusive environment.”
Jennifer Owens, editorial director of Working Mother Media, says,
“Thirty years is an important milestone and we are happy to honor it.
But we know, too, that the road ahead to truly supportive workplaces for
all employees remains long. Today, more than 2 million people work at a
Best Company but that’s a drop in the bucket when you consider that our
nation is home to 24 million working mothers—70 percent of moms with
kids under age 18 are employed.”
Subha Barry, vice president, general manager, Working Mother Media,
says, “As we celebrate the 30th anniversary of Working
Mother’s 100 Best Companies, we are keen to recognize leaders who have
built initiatives that truly support all employees. They are the
vanguard of successful companies, with policies that matter to American
families.”
