DALLAS (Oct. 26, 2020) – Ryan, a leading global tax services and software provider, has been named one of the 100 Best Adoption-Friendly Workplaces by the Dave Thomas Foundation. This prestigious award recognizes organizations that strive to make adoption a supported option for every working parent.
This year, the list compares more than just financial reimbursement and paid leave offered to parents who adopt, adding the percentage of employees eligible for adoption benefits as a third category when considering each organization’s score. The premier organizations are recognized for leading the charge to provide better adoption benefits in the workplace. Together, they represent a diverse group of companies across 22 industries.
“The adoption of a child brings unique financial challenges, and our organization believes in the vision of the Dave Thomas Foundation that every child should have a permanent home and loving family,” said Ryan Chairman and CEO G. Brint Ryan. “As a result, our adoption-friendly work benefits were implemented to support our associates who choose the caring path of adopting a child.”
To support and encourage employees who choose to grow their families through adoption, Ryan provides up to $5,000 in reimbursement for qualified expenses in connection with the final adoption of every child. The Firm also provides eight weeks of paid leave for employees who adopt children.
