JLL named to Working Mother’s 100 Best Companies List

CHICAGO, Sept. 25, 2019 – Working Mother this week revealed its annual list of the 2019 100 Best Companies representing more than two million employees in the U.S. JLL was among the top 100 companies earning a spot on this year’s list, which recognizes organizations focusing on inclusive benefits for families like gender-neutral parental leave, gradual phase-back after leave and accessible, affordable childcare. 

“This accolade is a reflection of our inclusive culture at JLL and we are honored to be on the list for the third consecutive year,” said Mary Bilbrey, Global Chief Human Resources Officer, JLL. “We are passionate about supporting our employees and their families’ wellbeing. We are also proud to offer the JLL Parent Experience, a company-wide initiative that provides maternity and paternity leave, adoption assistance, back-up childcare and flexibility for our working parents.”

The 2019 Working Mother 100 Best Companies application includes more than 400 questions on leave policies, workforce representation, benefits, childcare, advancement programs, flexibility policies and more. It surveys the availability and usage of these programs, as well as the accountability of the many managers who oversee them. All applicants receive feedback showing how they compare with other applicants; however, the names of applicants that do not make the list are kept confidential. Company profiles and data come from submitted applications and reflect 2018 data. 

“Parents are speaking out more than ever before about what they need in order to succeed at work and at home, and employers are paying attention,” says Meredith Bodgas, editor-in-chief of Working Mother. “By implementing family-friendly policies such as flexible schedules, paid parental leave, post-leave phase-back periods and mentoring programs, our 100 Best Companies are taking the needs of their employees into consideration in order to create a supportive, inclusive and productive environment.”
