What We Love

Moms at this wireless technology company may start the day with a workout class (Zumba, spin, strength training) at one of its 17 on-site fitness centers. In the afternoon, they might attend a parenting workshop, join their smoking-cessation group, wander over to a health clinic (on the main campus) or visit with the mobile spa or dental service. Evenings could bring Family Movie Night, during which workers hunker down with their kids in a company auditorium. Of course, pregnant women may prefer to spend the day learning about the company’s maternity leave policy (at least six fully paid weeks off) or order free prenatal kits with diaper bags, immunization schedules and healthy pregnancy guides instead. Once they return to work, they can post photos of their infants in the company’s 31 lactation rooms, or plop kids down in high chairs at its cafeterias.
