OppenheimerFunds Recognized by Working Mother as One of the Best Companies for Dads

NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- OppenheimerFunds, a leading global asset manager, was included on Working Mother's inaugural list of "Best Companies for Dads," which recognizes organizations that lead in the areas of paternity leave, phase-back programs, telecommuting opportunities, flexible schedules, and other initiatives.

"We are delighted that Working Mother has recognized OppenheimerFunds on its first-ever list of the best companies for dads," said Andy Doyle, Chief Human Resources Officer at OppenheimerFunds. "It is important that our policies and time off programs for parents offer them flexibility to balance their personal and professional lives, while at the same time helping foster a culture built on trust, accountability and results."

OppenheimerFunds was recognized by Working Mother specifically for its parental programs and benefits, which include a parent toolkit designed to help employees navigate their parental leave and return to work, and an employee assistance program that includes parent-specific resources and services. OppenheimerFunds' leave of absence policy also includes 16 weeks maternity leave and 8 weeks of leave for new fathers.

OppenheimerFunds' parental leave policies were also recently highlighted in Working Mother's 2018 "Best Companies" for working mothers and by Fatherly as one of the 50 Best Places to Work for New Dads. The firm has received numerous awards for its benefits and workplace culture, including recognition on the Diversity Best Practices Inclusion Index and 2018 Disability Equality Index, by Working Mother as one of the Best Companies for Multicultural Women, and as a Diversity Champion in Investment News' Diversity & Inclusion Awards. In addition, OppenheimerFunds has been named as one of the Best Places to Work for LGBTQ Equality by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation and a Best Place to Work in Money Management by Pensions & Investments.

As part of its diversity and inclusion efforts, OppenheimerFunds also provides employees with the opportunity to connect with the diverse experiences of colleagues by joining Business Resource Groups, which include the Asian Professionals Network, Black Professionals Network, Disabilities Network, Latino Professionals Network, LGBTQ+ Network, Military Network, and Women's Network.

Those questions include paternity leave, adoption leave, surrogacy and fertility benefits, phase-back programs, childcare options, telecommuting opportunities, and employee-resource groups for men. The responses were then assigned points, with the 35 organizations listed receiving the highest number of points.
