Led by a working-mom CEO, this academic medical center boasts eight female vice presidents and a management team in which 69% of members are women. Formal mentoring and tuition reimbursements (average annual amount: $3,600) have helped many advance, including Elena Poznakhirina, a senior business operations specialist, who used it to nab her bachelor’s and master’s degrees and has been promoted three times in eight years. She now works four days per week. “Having a career here is satisfying,” says Poznakhirina, a mom of one. “I have the flexibility to balance school, work and home.” Other mothers adjust their hours or telecommute (as 82% of fulltime salaried employees did at some point in 2011).
