Moody’s Corporation (NYSE:MCO) today announced that it has been named to the Working Mother 100 Best Companies list for the fourth consecutive year. The list recognizes US organizations that lead in areas of advancement of women, benefits, paid parental leave and more.

“Policies that support mothers and working families are vital to maximizing the contributions of our employees and helping them be successful in their careers,” said Raymond McDaniel, President and CEO of Moody’s. “Our continued recognition in Working Mother’s Best Companies is a testament to our inclusive workplace and the ongoing success of the programs that promote a culture of empowerment at Moody’s.”

The award recognizes Moody’s focus on diversity and inclusion strategies that develop women for leadership roles, enable greater workplace flexibility and foster a workplace where all individuals can be their authentic selves. Moody’s scored particularly high for its maternity, paternity and adoption leave policies, as well as for access to and participation in its flexible work programs. This year’s study also recognizes the celebration of the 10th anniversary of Moody’s Employee Resources Groups (ERGs), including the Women’s ERG and its Working Parents Circle support network.

“Our 100 Best Companies are the standard of excellence and continue to pave the way with the work they are doing on behalf of working parents and caregivers in the U.S.,” says Subha Barry, president of Working Mother Media. “We celebrate their efforts and applaud them for addressing the needs of this important and ever-growing sector of talent.”
