Plenty of perks lure mothers to this Web services company. If they need to drive their kids to school events or leave at midday to make doctors’ appointments, they have the freedom to adjust their hours or work remotely—and can rely on generous paid time off when the unexpected happens. If they require extended leaves after the birth of their children, they can request 16 job-guaranteed weeks off, with six weeks fully paid. And if they are initially hired into executive positions, they can get help making the transition with 90-Day Fusion, a program that provides temporary professional coaching. Employees who enroll in AOL’s GET FIT initiative earn cash rewards for exercising and riding their bicycles to work, and they may even reduce their medical insurance premiums by completing health-risk assessments.
