Fortune, has ranked Discover 68th on its 2016 list of the 100
Best Workplaces for Millennials, based on surveys of more than
88,000 millennials at 600 organizations. The Fortune list
recognizes companies that are best in terms of pay, shared
decision-making and fair promotions for millennials.
“Discover is committed to creating a work environment that
appeals to all backgrounds and perspectives, including talented
young people, by offering benefits that take into account their
lifestyles and what they value most,” said Doug Rose, chief human
resource officer for Discover. “Offering benefits like tuition
assistance and commuter reimbursement, as well as supporting
Employee Resource Groups that connect our people to each other and
to the company’s mission, helps Discover attract outstanding
diverse talent that drives broader thinking.”
The surveys, conducted by Great Place to Work®, asked employees
born in 1981 or later about 58 workplace-quality topics, including
support for their professional development, managerial concern for
their personal lives, communication channels, transparency, and
their ability to be themselves during work hours. The ranking was
announced last week.
“Our ideas are always heard, no matter your age or title in the
company,” said 31-year-old Discover employee George Kraniotis, who
co-chairs the company’s employee resource group for young
professionals. “They provide a number of avenues to voice opinions
on everything from benefits that fit your lifestyle, to suggestions
for new product launches.”
"There are more similarities than differences when it comes to
what different generations want in a great workplace," says Michael
C. Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work®. "Our research shows that
company pride, a sense of community and competent, ethical
leadership can bring millennials, gen Xers and baby boomers
together for a great, high-performing workplace."
Discover’s employee benefits include 25 days of paid time-off in
the first year, tuition reimbursement, competitive 401k options,
employee stock purchase options and commuter discounts and
conveniences.
