Each year, the Working Mother 100 Best Companies raise the bar on family-friendly benefits. This year is no different: From paid parental leave to backup child care to on-site fitness facilities, these companies are working hard to create a workplace of choice for their nearly 2.5 million employees.

This year we’re focused on the power of change, from flexing your schedule to finding a new job to pushing for a federal paid-parental-leave law that supports all new parents nationwide. Life doesn’t stand still, so why should we? For just like the Working Mother 100 Best, when we working moms embrace change, all things are possible.
