HUNTSVILLE, AL – September 2022 – Intuitive Research and Technology Corporation (INTUITIVE®) has received the honor of being a Best Place for Working Parents in 2022. The Best Place for Working Parents is a network of businesses aiming to push forward and implement policies that support working parents and help companies adapt to the needs of the current workforce. Their assessment looks for research-backed, family friendly policies proven to benefit working parents and employers’ bottom line.
Finding a sustainable solution to help working parents return and stay in the workforce has never had higher stakes, as its far-reaching impact extends beyond the health of families and children, but also to the future of businesses’ success and our nation’s economy. INTUITIVE stands at the forefront of this multi-layered solution by putting policies and benefits in place that help families while also being good for business.
“INTUITIVE is built on our people, we know that our strength is our people,” says Senior Vice President of Employee Experience, Melissa Devore. “We want our employees to have the tools they need to be successful. Part of that is having benefits that support every phase of their lives while at INTUITIVE. We believe providing benefits that our employees’ families need, is not only the right thing to do, but also enhances company focus areas such as providing excellent support to our customers, employee retention, and increased productivity and morale. Having a culture that includes benefits for our working parents leads to inclusivity and reduces stress, knowing that INTUITIVE understands and cares about their work-life balance.”
A recent survey showed that 82% of working mothers wanted location flexibility—an all-time high since the summer of 2020. By implementing research-backed policies proven to help working parents and our businesses’ bottom line, INTUITIVE has been able to support a key growing sector of the workforce while giving its company a competitive advantage in attracting and retaining top talent.
“As a mother of five children ranging in age from 3 to 13, work-life balance is one of the most important factors to me and my professional career,” said Director of Contracts, Lauren Magnusson. “I was hired 12 years ago, and at that time I was a mother of two. Since then, I have had three more children. The level of support I was given during three maternity leaves and countless doctor’s visits, school meetings, field trips, sick days, to name only a few events, is incredible. I’ve never once hesitated to ask for time needed to be a present parent. Even as my professional responsibilities have grown, the support I feel has remained unchanged. My devotion to INTUITIVE matches INTUITIVE’s devotion to me.”
“INTUITIVE’s support of company employees, especially working parents, is both benefiting its workforce and its bottom line – a core tenet of our Best Place for Working Parents national community,” said Sadie Funk, Director of The Best Place for Working Parents. “Congratulations to INTUITIVE for joining the ranks of The Best Place for Working Parents!”
