Fortune Names Ultimate Software #3 Best Workplace for Parents
WESTON, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$ULTI #HCM–Ultimate Software (Nasdaq:ULTI), a leading provider of human capital
management (HCM) solutions in the cloud, announced today that it has
been ranked #3 on the 2016 list of the 50 Best Workplaces for Parents,
created by Fortune and Great Place to Work. The Best Workplaces for
Parents ranking is based upon the feedback from 122,482 working
parents at Great Place to Work-Certified companies that completed the
Trust Index© Employee Survey.
“We are honored to be ranked on the 50 Best Places to Work for Parents
list because the ‘People First’ culture at Ultimate is a statement about
our commitment to employees and their families,” said Vivian Maza, chief
people officer at Ultimate. “We recognize that parenting
responsibilities have evolved, and we have designed our policies,
workplace, and culture to support both mothers and fathers in their new
roles. We know that when we take care of our people, it will show in the
way they take care of our customers.”
Ultimate provides 10 weeks of paid maternity leave to all full-time
female employees and four weeks paid paternity leave to all full-time
employees whose spouse has a child or who has adopted a newborn child up
to age 1. Additionally, Ultimate offers private, onsite “Mommy’s Rooms”
for nursing mothers, with lactation machines and other resources.
Ultimate excels as an “Employer of Choice” with extremely competitive
benefits, including 100-percent-employer-paid health coverage for
full-time employees and their families.
Rankings were derived from the answers of U.S. employees across
industries to 58 questions about the reality of their day-to-day work
experience, including organization-wide support for work-life balance,
the quality of benefits, the fairness of opportunities for professional
development and advancement, and their assessment of the quality of the
workplace.
To determine the winners, Great Place to Work analyzed how positively
mothers and fathers experienced their workplace overall, paying special
attention to an index of factors where parents tended to have a less
positive experience than colleagues without children. The ranking also
takes into account how favorably parents experienced their workplace
relative to colleagues without children, as well as the availability and
generosity of maternity and paternity leave programs, adoption support,
and childcare programs.
