100 Best Adoption-Friendly Workplaces
The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption recently announced the fourth annual 100 Best Adoption-Friendly Workplaces list recognizing US organizations for their adoption benefits. Topping the list is The Wendy’s/Arby’s Group. The honor was well deserved as they offer a maximum of $24,300 in financial assistance and up to six weeks paid leave. Wow! I admire that commitment to adoption and foster care. How about you? If you work outside the home, did your employer offer benefits? Have you ever changed jobs to work for a company merely because of their adoption benefits? If you think your company could compete, you can complete a registration form for next year. What do you think? Should employers pay for or provide support to parents going through adoption or foster care (other than what is legally required like the FMLA)? We welcome your opinion below.
