Alight Solutions, a leading cloud-based provider of integrated digital human capital and business solutions, has been named one of the Best Places to Work by Parents@Work, a joint initiative between Fatherly and Scary Mommy, two leading digital media brands for parents.
Alight was also certified in the categories of Best Places To Work For Moms, Best Places To Work For Dads, and Best Places for Parents Working Remotely. Alight’s paid parental leave, healthcare and financial resources, social support, flexible work arrangements, and access to backup childcare and eldercare were highlighted by Parents@Work.
“We’re committed to building a flexible and empathetic workplace that is supportive of working parents and caregivers, and that starts with understanding the needs of all our colleagues,” said Michael Rogers, chief human resources officer at Alight. “We’re very proud to be recognized among so many leading companies that are supporting their people in meaningful ways.”
Fatherly and Scary Mommy worked with a team of academic and policy experts to develop a rigorous 148-point criteria by which companies were measured. The inaugural Parents@Work program validates the family-first policies, benefits and cultural practices of companies that are committed to improving outcomes for working parents.
The Parents@Work certification is the latest affirmation that Alight is building a high-performance workplace culture and supporting workplace equality. Recently, Alight was named a Great Place to Work for the third year in a row, and earned a top score in the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index for the second consecutive year.
