Leading provider of human capital management cloud solutions, Ultimate Software, announced that it was ranked #4 on this year’s “Top 50 Best Workplaces for Parents” by Fortune and Great Place to Work (GPTW).
In determining the “50 Best Workplaces for Parents” list for 2018, GPTW based its rankings on a data-driven methodology. The ranking was drawn on the basis of employee responses to questions about company policies, practices, healthcare benefits, parental leave, adoption support, schedule flexibility etc. Ranking on this list is indicative of a good workplace environment and enhances the company’s branding as an employer. This is a massive boost to the job applications that a company receives, as well as the company’s perception by applicants, particularly those who have or are planning on starting a family.
In order to make sure that the employees are well taken care of, Ultimate Software provides them with many benefits such as paying employees and their families’ medical premiums, paid maternity, paternity and adoption leaves, having on-campus “Mommy rooms” for nursing women, restricted stock options upon hiring, 401(k) retirement plans and many more.
“Ultimate’s people make us who we are, and we will always take care of them like family,” said Vivian Maza, Chief People Officer at Ultimate. “We are committed to flexible careers, balanced lives, and unwavering support to all our employees, whether they’re looking to start families, have recently become parents, or are currently raising children. Ultimate is a dedicated, extended family—from our employees to our customers to our communities—and we will continue to allocate the necessary resources to ensure our people can grow and prosper at every stage of their lives.”
