The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption (DTFA) issues annually a list of the top 100 best adoption-friendly workplaces, based on “the maximum amount of financial reimbursement and paid leave for employees who adopt.” This list is issued each year as a way to increase public awareness of children in foster care waiting for adoption, as well as to recognize businesses that support adoptive families. In order to be considered for inclusion on the list, companies must complete the adoption benefits survey on the DTFA website.
This year’s list was released earlier this week. Here are the top 10:
1. The Wendy’s Company
2. Ferring Pharmaceuticals
3. RBS Citizens Financial Group
4. HanesBrands
5. Barilla America, Inc.
6. Liquidnet Holdings, Inc. (tie)
6. LSI Corporation (tie)
6. UBM (tie)
9. Boston Scientific
10. Bloomberg (tie)
10. Putnam Investments (tie)
Minnesota-based companies that made the list include General Mills (Minneapolis), which was tied with 9 other organizations for #38, and Carlson (Minnetonka), which was tied with 11 other organizations for #91.
