Pillsbury has earned its first inclusion on Working Mother’s third annual list of the Best Companies for Dads, which honors companies that recognize the increasing need to help fathers be equal parenting partners. The list recognized 85 companies this year whose benefits and policies lead in commitment to gender-neutral parental leave, childcare and flexibility. Pillsbury was one of only three law firms named to this year’s list.
“Millennial dads continue to be outspoken about wanting to be involved parents and needing the support of their companies in order to do so,” said Subha V. Barry, president of Working Mother Media. “These trendsetting organizations strive to create an inclusive environment for all working parents, and we applaud their efforts in helping to erase the stigma attached to men taking full parental leave and utilizing flexible schedules to be more involved on the homefront. By doing so, it helps moms succeed both at home and at work and puts them on more equal footing in the process.”
This recognition is just the latest bestowed on Pillsbury by Working Mother. Earlier this year, the firm was honored by the publication as one of the Best Companies for Multicultural Women and just last week earned a 12th consecutive inclusion on its Best Law Firms for Women list and 100 Best Companies list for working parents. In 2019, Working Mother included Pillsbury as a member of its inaugural law firm Hall of Fame class.
Pillsbury takes great pride in its steadfast commitment to building a diverse and inclusive culture. The firm was among the first to promote women to partnership and the first large, national firm in the U.S. to elect a woman as its top leader. Year after year, Pillsbury’s inclusion efforts are recognized by Vault.com, the National Association of Female Executives and the Human Rights Campaign, among other organizations.
