For the third year in a row, Conceive, a national publication devoted to pre-pregnancy health and fertility, has ranked the top companies in America that continue to help employees build their families. The top 10 for 2009 includes Citizens Financial Group/RBS Americas, Arnold & Porter, Baker & McKenzie, Barilla America, the Boston Consulting Group, Deutsche Bank, Exceptional Software Strategies Inc., Harvard University, Kozy Shak Enterprises, and National Futures Association.
Based on a one- to four-star ranking system, the companies that received the most stars were those that offer more than $100,000 for ART (assisted reproductive technologies, including IVF) or $60,000 for treatment combined with generous paid leave. And for the adoption criteria, four stars went to companies that give more than $15,000 toward the adoption of a child (or $10,000 combined with a very generous paid leave for adoptive primary caregivers).
"Fertility treatments and adoptions can be costly. In the current economic climate we applaud those companies who recognize how important it is to help employees build their families," says Kim Hahn, founder of Conceive.
To find Conceive's 50 Best Fertility-Friendly and Adoption-Friendly Companies for 2009, surveys were sent out to over 200 companies. Leads and suggestions also came in from blogs and Internet postings at places such as INCIID (The InterNational Council on Infertility Information Dissemination Inc.), readers' tips, and industry leaders and nonprofit organizations.
