30 November 2023 - 12:30AM
Navient (Nasdaq: NAVI), a leader in technology-enabled education
finance and business processing solutions, is proud to announce
that it has been recognized as an Adoption Advocate by the Dave
Thomas Foundation for Adoption. The list recognizes organizations
with robust adoption benefits programs and celebrates employers
that help support working adoptive parents.
“The Foundation is thrilled to see a growing number of
organizations offering robust benefits to employees who open their
hearts and homes as foster and adoptive parents,” said Rita
Soronen, president and CEO of the Dave Thomas Foundation for
Adoption. “According to research conducted by the Harris Poll on
the Foundation’s behalf, 68% of Americans say that having paid
leave and other adoption benefits in the workplace impact their
decision to adopt. When organizations offer benefits and join the
Foundation in raising awareness of their importance to inspire
others, we are one step closer to ensuring that every child has a
permanent home and a loving family.”
Navient demonstrates its commitment to employees' adoption
journeys by providing financial assistance and access to Maven, a
valuable resource that helps parents navigate agencies and clinics.
This inclusive support extends to nurturing the emotional
well-being of both parents and children throughout the adoption
process.
The Dave Thomas Foundation partnered with RTI International, an
independent, nonprofit research institute, to survey employers
across the United States and score participants based on criteria
such as financial reimbursement, paid leave, and the percentage of
employees eligible for those benefits. The Foundation ranks
employers by size, industry, paid leave, foster care benefits and
impact.
“With this recognition, we reaffirm our commitment to fostering
a culture of support and compassion,” said Mike Smith, Navient’s
chief human resources officer. “We believe in the transformative
power of adoption, and this honor inspires us to continue
championing initiatives that make a real difference in the lives of
families. We strive to help build a world where every child can
thrive in the warmth of a loving home, and we are proud to be
advocates for this meaningful cause.”
