MCLEAN, Va., Sept. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Working Mother
magazine today named Capital One as one of the 2015 Working Mother
100 Best Companies for its commitment to progressive workplace
programs, including advancement of women, flexibility, child care
and paid parental leave. The 100 Best Companies are featured in the
October/November issue of Working Mother and on
workingmother.com.
"Capital One has worked to build an inclusive environment and
family-friendly policies that support all of our associates," said
Lane Hopkins, Senior Vice President
of Human Resources and Chief Diversity Officer. "We are committed
to providing rewarding careers, benefits, and training, including
dedicated associate networks designed to foster an open and
supportive work environment and enhance the overall experience for
our associates in both their professional and personal lives. We
are proud of the Capital One culture and what we've achieved and we
are honored once again to be named to Working Mother Magazine's Top
100 list."
Jennifer Owens, editorial
director of Working Mother Media, says, "Thirty years is an
important milestone and we are happy to honor it. But we know, too,
that the road ahead to truly supportive workplaces for all
employees remains long. Today, more than 2 million people work at a
Best Company but that's a drop in the bucket when you consider that
our nation is home to 24 million working mothers—70 percent of moms
with kids under age 18 are employed."
Subha Barry, vice president,
general manager, Working Mother Media, says, "As we celebrate the
30th anniversary of Working Mother's 100 Best Companies, we are
keen to recognize leaders who have built initiatives that truly
support all employees. They are the vanguard of successful
companies, with policies that matter to American families."

can be found here.
Working Mother will also hold its third annual National Flex Day
on Tuesday, October 20th. As it does as a matter of course,
Capital One will demonstrate its support by encouraging its
employees to take advantage of its comprehensive flexible work
arrangement policies. It will also share the official National Flex
Day badge on its web site and display the National Flex Day poster
in its offices.
