ERNST & YOUNG LLP EARNS THE NUMBER ONE SPOT

Washington, D.C. (October 10, 2023)—Seramount, a strategic professional services and research firm, revealed its annual list of the 2023 100 Best Companies for working parents today. This year’s winners continue to set the standard by providing inclusive benefits for families, including paid gender-neutral parental leave, subsidized childcare, bereavement leave after miscarriage, reimbursement for fertility expenses, and increased mental health benefits for employees. Ernst & Young LLP earned this year’s top spot.

“Our 100 Best Companies are going the extra mile to create inclusive work environments for their parents and caregivers,” says Subha V. Barry, President of Seramount. “In addition to gender-neutral parental leave, organizations are upping their benefit offerings to cover necessities like childcare and sick-child care. Not only that, they recognize that this generation of workers will likely have to care for a sick family member at some point and are providing the support to do so. We are proud to honor these forward-thinking companies.”

The top 10 companies for 2023 (in alphabetical order) are as follows: AbbVie, Bank of America, Ernst & Young LLP, Goldman Sachs & Co., Johnson & Johnson, KPMG LLP, Merck, S&P Global, Inc., Standard Chartered Bank, and Takeda.
