Companies that treat families right

NY Times - Working Mother magazine  released its 30th annual list of the top 100 companies based on support for employees with young children or elderly relatives to care for; women’s advancement; and flexible work options,,, IBM [is] the only company besides Johnson & Johnson on the list all 30 years. All employees have flex time, new parents get paid leave, and the company pays for fertility treatments, back-up child care and shipments of breast milk home from business trips... IBM is typical of the companies on the list, and one of a group of elite companies that have been part of an arms race to expand family-friendly benefits. The list also highlights how far removed these companies are from the vast majority of employers.
