Moms, rejoice!

September 26th, 2006

The Working Mother Top 100 list is out. For those not in the know, it’s a list the mag puts out annually to give props to the companies with the most family-friendly policies — you know, flex time, telecommuting, paid leave, and all that good stuff many of us never, ever see in the workplace. To search for a gig at a company like this, check out the mom-friendly filter on the job site SimplyHired. (Do an advanced search, and under Company, select from the Special Filters menu.)

If you’re not a mom, does this mean you’re SOL? Hardly. Yours truly boasts a client on this list and you won’t see me procreating any time soon. (Sorry, mom.) Family friendly means worker friendly, unless of course your employer has the nasty habit of heaping the heaviest load on its childless workers. Some do. One would be wise to avoid those outfits like the plague.

A final note: If you can’t open the Working Mother Top 100 list, you can read it on BusinessWeek too, as Feministing kindly pointed out this morning.
