Meaningful work life programs help employees thrive at this financial services company. Take the Working Parents Network: “It gives those of us who are caring for others the chance to exchange ideas, share photos and cry on each other’s shoulders,” a member says. Caregivers like the Vacation Donation Program, which provides users with paid time off from their peers: “When Dad had his heart attack, it gave me time to find a nursing home for my mom, who had Alzheimer’s,” recalls an employee. In a crisis, the company’s employee relief program also lifts people’s spirits: “I was able to rent a house, have utilities connected and buy groceries,” relates a mom of three who received a $2,500 grant after a tornado hit her home.
