BOSTON, MA (Aug. 20, 2024) — L.E.K. Consulting, a global strategy consultancy, today announced it was named to strategic professional services and research firm Seramount’s annual list of the 2024 100 Best Companies for working parents. This year’s winners continue to set the standard with inclusive benefits for families. Such benefits include paid gender-neutral parental leave, subsidized backup childcare, transition programs and support for new parents and working families, reimbursements to assist with adoption and fertility care expenses, caregiver leave for all employees, and internal employee resource groups and initiatives focused on promoting community and the continued development of employees. L.E.K Consulting was among the 100 companies that earned a spot on this year’s list.
“We are honored and proud to be recognized as one of Seramount’s 100 Best Companies for working parents for the eighth consecutive year,” said Manny Picciola, Head of L.E.K. Consulting’s Americas region. “Our inclusion on this list demonstrates our continued commitment to building and maintaining an environment in which our working parents feel supported — and can grow both professionally and personally. At L.E.K., we prioritize our people’s wellbeing. Through programs that range from our Family Matters benefits to extended parental leave and our employee assistance programs, we continually strive to give our people the tools they need to succeed both at work and in their personal lives.”
“Our 100 Best Companies have been setting the standard on what is considered an inclusive workplace for parents and caregivers for over 40 years,” says Subha V. Barry, President of Seramount. “Thanks to their dedication, benefits that were considered progressive are now considered the norm, like offering bereavement leave after a miscarriage. The mental welfare of employees continues to be a priority and we are thrilled to see almost 100% of companies offering support in this area.”
