BEST PRACTICE When this financial giant launched a Global Women’s Initiative in 2006, its aim was simple: Help women network and mentor each other. Just two years later, there are 54 women’s councils, including one with 1,000 members in New York City.

FAMILY-FRIENDLY The company places health and wellness high on its list of work/life priorities. Each staffer and family member is eligible for three confidential counseling sessions, while a 24-hour nursing hotline helps address immediate health issues.

CHILD-CARE CHEER
Last July, Citi opened its eighth full-time child-care center, in Jacksonville, FL. Serving 440 children between the ages of 6 weeks and 12 years, it includes a music room, library, water park and art studio, as well as a full-service kitchen.

WHAT’S COOL
The company’s credit card operations and technology business ran programs on fitness, nutrition and sun safety last year to encourage employees and their children to be healthier.

NOTABLE NETWORKS
There’s power in numbers: Working parents here are connected by networks comprised of nearly 2,500 members.

Women managers/execs 25,784
Women among top earners 25%
Women on board of directors 13%
