CHICAGO, DECEMBER 4, 2024 — BDO USA, one of the nation’s leading accounting and advisory firms, today announced it was selected by Great Place To Work® and Fortune magazine as one of the 2024 Fortune Best Workplaces for Parents™. This is the firm’s first time being included on this esteemed list.
To determine the Best Workplaces for Parents, Great Place To Work analyzed the survey responses of more than 635,000 employees with parenting responsibilities who work for Great Place To Work Certified™ companies.
Receiving recognition from Fortune as a workplace that appreciates and supports the experiences of parents is a great privilege. We’re proud to offer resources that help our people succeed throughout their personal and professional journeys.
The Best Workplaces for Parents list is highly competitive, and BDO secured the 40th spot on the 2024 list. Great Place To Work, a preeminent voice on workplace culture, determines its lists using its proprietary For All™ Methodology to evaluate and certify thousands of organizations in America’s largest ongoing annual workforce study. Over 1.3 million survey responses were received this year, representing the experiences of more than 8.2 million employees.
In addition to employee feedback, Great Place To Work collected company data on industry, revenue, employee demographics, parental leave, adoption benefits, flexible scheduling and more. Winning companies were those that offered the most positive outcomes for working parents, regardless of job role, race, gender, sexual orientation, work status or other demographic identifier.
“The need to provide for one’s family is at the heart of why many people go to work every day,” said Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “The Best Workplaces for Parents understand the balance caregivers must maintain between job duties and responsibilities at home – and are finding a competitive advantage by meeting those needs.”
