42% of Kraft’s board of directors are women.

Getting in shape pays off for employees of this Northfield, IL–based food manufacturing company.  Workers who complete a health profile, take preventive care exams and enroll in lifestyle improvement programs can earn up to $250 toward their medical plan costs, while those who sign up for quarterly wellness activities are entered in drawings for $2,500 prizes. Women pursuing in-vitro fertilization are eligible for $45,000 in coverage, and any woman can get an unlimited number of mammograms for free. Other nods to good health: More than 5,000 U.S. gyms offer special employee discounts, and there’s a ten-week weight-loss contest at headquarters, which sparks moms’ competitive streaks. All employees receive 20 to 35 paid days off annually. Women hold 42% of Kraft’s board of directors seats and 37% of all executive jobs and represent nearly one third of the company’s top earners.
