From flexible work schedules to casual clothes, life at work is loosening up. Many companies are recognizing that families come first and are reflecting this in their benefits and policies. As a result, parents are achieving a better balance between work and family, and that's good for business. This is our third annual list of 40 great places for parents to work in North Carolina.
Some names are new to the list, and others appear for the second or third time.
We chose them from nominations we received from employees and employers. We included some smaller workplaces that can't offer the benefits of large corporations but maintain an open attitude and creatively meet parents' needs. With this list, we salute family-friendly workplaces of all sizes and encourage other employers to follow. We did not make our choices by a formal procedure. We chose employers that seem to be leading the way in family friendliness and some that have employees with compelling stories.
