Allstate Named to 2013 Working Mother 100 Best Companies
New York, NY, September 17, 2013 /3BL Media/ - Working Mother magazine today named Allstate as one of the 2013 Working Mother 100 Best Companies for its commitment to progressive workplace programs, including child care, flexibility, advancement and paid family leave. The 100 Best Companies are featured in the October/November issue of Working Mother and on workingmother.com.
“Allstate is committed to making certain we have programs, services and options to help all employees realize their full potential,” said Michael Escobar, vice president, chief diversity & organization effectiveness officer for Allstate. “We are a stronger company because of the high value we place on leveraging a diverse workplace.”
Carol Evans, president of Working Mother Media, says, “Now in its 28th year, the Working Mother 100 Best Companies are leaders in building initiatives that truly support all employees. They are the vanguard of successful companies, with modern policies for American families. That’s why we are launching National Flex Day on October 15. It’s time for employees and their companies to step out from the shadows and embrace workplace flexibility as a core business strategy that will enable them to compete and succeed in an increasingly competitive global economy.”
Jennifer Owens, editorial director of Working Mother Media, states, “We have made workplace flexibility our platform to heighten the message that as many as 30 million Americans work from home at least one day a week and yet it is the most misunderstood workplace practice in our culture. Not only do all of Working Mother 100 Best Companies offer flex to their employees, they understand what a positive influence it has had on productivity, morale and motivation.”
