SARASOTA, FLA. SEPTEMBER 4, 2024
Dental Care Alliance (DCA) has been named to a third “Greatest of” Newsweek list America’s Greatest Workplaces for Parents and Families 2024. This accolade reaffirms DCA’s unwavering commitment to providing an exceptional, supportive workplace for dental professionals at every stage of their career journey.
One thousand companies are included in the second annual ranking of America’s Greatest Workplaces for Parents and Families, which is based on data from more than 113,000 working parents who provided more than 693,000 company reviews. Plant-A and PrivCo, a search engine for private company data, identified and documented key indicators related to how much parents feel supported in a workplace. They analyzed the number of corporate programs benefiting families, such as the availability of child care, and information from social media, including company ratings and reviews from parents.
A working parent really has two jobs: one at the workplace and one at home. It’s no wonder that as companies compete for top talent, a key selling point is their emphasis on work-life balance, which statistics show is imperative in today’s corporate landscape.
The Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics released figures in April showing that in 2023, 67 percent of all married-couple families with children had both parents employed. That total was up from the previous year, when 65 percent of families had both parents working. And according to a May 2022 study from The Ohio State University, 66 percent of working parents reported feeling burned out.
As more parents juggle raising a family with their work obligations, they want employers who offer flexibility and are supportive of work-life balance. Newsweek is partnering with data analytics firm Plant-A Insights Group to help parents find the companies that stand out for how they prioritize the needs of families.
“Dental Care Alliance is fiercely committed not only to making an exceptional first impression and creating a meaningful onboarding experience, but also providing programs, benefits, and resources that stand the test of time and are there to support our team members throughout their careers,” shared Claudia Saenz Amlie, Chief Human Resources Officer for DCA. “A successful welcoming process isn’t just about welcoming new allies; it’s about setting the foundation for their growth and success for the long term here at DCA.”
