PARSIPPANY, N.J.—Wyndham Worldwide, one of the world’s largest hospitality companies, has again been named one of the 100 Best Companies by Working Mother magazine. The annual list recognizes top companies providing family-driven programs and benefits, with 100 percent of this year’s winning companies offering flexible hours, telecommuting, paid maternity leave, and employee assistance programs.
“We are a family-oriented company providing great family travel experiences, so it is only fitting that we are also one of the best places for working moms to build their careers,” says Mary Falvey, executive vice president and chief human resources officer, Wyndham Worldwide.
“With more than 169,000 women hired last year, this year’s 100 Best Companies make up an impressive group of winners who offer family-driven programs and benefits that far outpace their competitors,” said Carol Evans, president, Working Mother Media. “This year’s winning companies are proof that success lies in the numbers—97 percent of companies are offering prenatal education, weight-loss, wellness, and stress-reduction programs to employees at every level.”
Be Well Program Recognized
With an established family-centric culture that supports the balance of raising a family with a successful career, the increasing need to balance those responsibilities with associate’s health and wellness is a central focus at Wyndham Worldwide. In addition to its benefits, on-site amenities, flexible schedules, and career mentoring programs, Wyndham Worldwide offers its Be Well program, providing associates with a wide range of resources to meet all types of needs and schedules, including no-cost fitness and wellness facilities, health screenings, on-site health services, and lifestyle management programs.
“Going beyond work/life balance, our Be Well program takes a holistic approach to mental, physical, and financial wellbeing,” Falvey says. “As a working mom myself, I fully appreciate the challenges in taking care of your career, your family, and finding the time to take care of yourself.”
The Working Mother 100 Best Companies are judged on answers to 650 questions, including data on the access and usage of flexible work arrangements, parental leave, childcare, health and wellness support and the advancement of women to all levels of management.
