At LEGO, in-vitro procedures and other fertility treatments are fully covered, with no maximum limits.

This iconic toy maker merits a high approval rating among employees, with 100% of those surveyed saying they are proud to work here. It's not hard to understand why when you consider the company's support for parents who adjust and reduce their hours, telecommute or compress their weeks. At some point last year, 90% of workers used a form of flex. Primary caregivers who give birth or adopt a child get 26 job-guaranteed weeks off, with 13 fully paid; all secondary caregivers receive four weeks off, with two fully paid. As of last year, anyone who adopts is eligible for $5,000 to cover costs, up from $3,000. Moms who work at headquarters enjoy yoga, self-defense, weight training and Zumba classes at an on-site fitness center that stays open 24/7; after their workouts end, they can book time with a massage therapist to ease away the day's tensions. Especially fun? The company's Stress Free Day, during which employees spend time watching movies, getting manicures and catching up on one another's lives.
