2. Working individually, find at least five employment ads (Advertisements), either on the Internet or in a local newspaper, that suggest that the company is family friendly and should appeal to women, minorities, older workers, and single parents. Discuss what the firm is doing to be family friendly. Ans. 1. Wegman’s Food Markets :In addition to reimbursements for fertility treatments, lactation rooms and paid leave to care for a sick child or relative, Wegman’s has developed a CARE programthat acknowledges and celebrates 10 milestones at work based on those “most families would celebrate at home.” 2. Edward Jones This employer tempers long hours with rewards that help employees relax and have fun – with family. Baseball game tickets and regular overnight family retreats give employees an opportunity for down time with those they love – on the company dime. New mothers can take up to 120 paid days off for maternity leave. 3. Kimpton Hotels & Resorts Employees note there’s “a culture of inclusiveness and level of acceptance at Kimpton like none other.” In addition to backup care for children and adults, Kimpton cares for employees’ four-legged family members, too, offering paid pet bereavement leave. 4. The Boston Consulting Group

Work-life balance remains a top priority at this global leader, where innovative programsinclude flexible working models, unlimited PTO, paid sabbaticals and backup child care. Diversity and inclusion support networks and localized events unique to individual offices, like family “staycations,” help give all employees a sense of belonging. 5. Wegman’s Food Markets In addition to reimbursements for fertility treatments, lactation rooms and paid leave to care for a sick child or relative, Wegman’s has developed a CARE programthat acknowledges and celebrates 10 milestones at work based on those “most families would celebrate at home.”
