RSM McGladrey employees who use child care while working on weekends, pulling late hours or traveling for business receive coverage for up to $1,500 per year.

Moms who work for this Bloomington, MN–based tax, accounting and business consulting firm can count on help in difficult times when they call its free work/life coach, who aids them in resolving financial, family and workplace issues. New mothers get advice from parenting coaches on how to navigate their six-week fully paid maternity or adoption leave and then find flexible schedules when they return. “My coach gave me an outlet to speak with someone about my needs, which can get lost when you are focused on a new baby,” recalls national recruiting manager Kim McLaughlin, whose youngest is 1. More advice comes via an eight-week parenting program in Rochester, MN, which details kids’ emotional development and teaches how to build their self-esteem. Seasonal schedules further help moms cope, as does support for compressed work and telecommuting.
