"Deloitte is honored once again to be recognized by Working Mother as an organization where work-life fit is valued and encouraged," said Jen Steinmann, chief talent officer, Deloitte LLP. "As a working mom, I particularly appreciate the benefits of a flexible work environment from both a personal and professional standpoint. Deloitte is committed to reinforcing a culture and advancing programs that support the development and growth of all of our people."
Among the many Deloitte initiatives noted were its Emerging Leaders Development Program (ELDP), designed to help prep high-performing managers for career advancement; career sponsorship training; and multiple options at the project team level that offer work flexibility while delivering high-quality services for clients. Additionally, Deloitte has invested in changing the conversation around inclusion through the recently launched Deloitte University Leadership Center for Inclusion.
"Working mothers are an important part of who we are and what we want to be- a place where everyone is valued for their contribution and feels they belong," said Deb DeHaas, chief inclusion officer, Deloitte LLP. "Deloitte's strong, ongoing commitment to the success of working mothers is demonstrated through an inclusive environment where all of our people have an opportunity to thrive."
Working Mother chooses its 100 Best Companies by judging them in response to questions addressing such issues as commitment to progressive workplace programs, including child care, flexibility, advancement and paid family leave. In addition to distinguishing itself on the 100 Best Companies list, for the eighth consecutive time Deloitte was among the top ten on Working Mother's "Best Companies for Multicultural Women" ranking this year.
"The Working Mother 100 Best Companies are leaders in building initiatives that truly support all employees.
