BURLINGTON, Mass., Sept. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Nuance
Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN) announced today that it
has been named one of 2021's "100 Best Companies" and one of 2021's
"Best Companies For Dads" by Seramount in recognition of its
inclusive benefits for families and continuing support for
employees throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Seramount is the parent
company of Working Mother, a mentor, role model and advocate for
more than 24 million moms who are devoted to their families and
committed to their careers. Both awards were based on a
comprehensive evaluation consisting of more than 400 questions that
examined companies' various family-friendly programs and policies,
workforce representation, wellness offerings and benefits,
advancement programs, and flexibility offerings for working parents
and caregivers.
Creating a supportive work environment is critical, particularly
given the pressures the pandemic has placed on working parents and
caregivers that have resulted in increased volumes of burnout,
stress, and forced the reduction of hours and numbers of parents in
the workforce— a trend that is predicted to continue post pandemic.
Nuance is committed to providing tools and resources that promote
and support their employees' diverse needs, and has been recognized
numerous times for its programs designed for working parents and
caregivers as well, ranging from paid parental and family leave,
infertility treatment benefits, surrogacy assistance, adoption
assistance, flexible transition back-to-work options to assist
parents returning to work following parental leave, and a variety
of Care.com services to assist employees looking for child care,
senior care, and pet walkers.
Both of these awards come on the heels of Nuance being named to
Seramount's 2021 Inclusion Index in August for the company's
commitment to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I)
in the workplace. Nuance continues to place a large focus on
DE&I and has been recognized for its efforts across
recruitment, retention and advancement of people from
underrepresented groups, inclusive culture through leadership,
accountability, communications and employee engagement, and
workforce demographics. More information can be found in the Nuance
ESG Report.
"Our employees are the reason Nuance is such an incredible place
to work and the reason our market-leading technology is trusted by
the largest companies around the world," said Beth Conway,
Executive Vice President and Chief People & Places Officer.
"The world of work is ever-evolving, and it's critical that we
continue to support our great people with a culture where they can
be themselves, learn, grow, and thrive—and that includes providing
benefits that empower, inspire, and support their varying
needs."
Nuance's commitment to fostering an environment where it's
employees can be their best is reflected in these two Seramount
awards, which are the latest in a growing number of Employer of
Choice accolades that the company has recently received,
including one of Selling Power's Top Places to Sell For, Best
Places to Work for Moms, Best Places to Work for
Dads, Best Places for Parents Working Remotely, "Montréal's
