Working Mother Names Sony Electronics as one of the "Best Companies for Dads"


SAN DIEGO, Sept. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Working Mother revealed its third annual list of the "Best Companies for Dads," celebrating organizations that lead in the areas of paternity leave, childcare, flexible schedules and more. Sony Electronics Inc. was one of the 85 companies recognized on this year's list.

"Millennial dads continue to be outspoken about wanting to be involved parents and needing the support of their companies in order to do so," says Subha V. Barry, president of Working Mother Media. "These trendsetting organizations strive to create an inclusive environment for all working parents, and we applaud their efforts in helping to erase the stigma attached to men taking full parental leave and utilizing flexible schedules to be more involved on the home front. By doing so, it helps moms succeed both at home and at work, and puts them on more equal footing in the process."

"Sony is thrilled to again be named to this list of 'Best Companies for Dads,'" says Mike Fasulo, president and COO of Sony Electronics. "We know that all employees need our support to do their jobs to best of their abilities, while managing a healthy work-life balance. Programs such as paternity leave, childcare, flexible schedules and others let our working parents know that Sony is 'in their corner,' offering impactful options that allow them to successfully manage work and their day-to-day lives." 

The top 10 companies for 2020 (in alphabetical order) are: AbbVie, Bank of America, Deloitte, Ernst & Young LLP, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, IBM, Johnson & Johnson, McKinsey & Co., RSM US, and Unilever
