As it does every year, the American company Seramount (which campaigns for inclusiveness in the world of work) has produced a ranking of the organisations with the best social policies for women and families in the broadest sense. Some of the manufacturers in the top 100 are in the beauty industry.
Estée Lauders Companies, Johnson & Johnson, L’Oréal USA and Unilever are the only companies that can boast a place in Seramount’s 2024 ranking.
All the companies in this top ten have distinguished themselves by some of the actions they have taken to improve the day-to-day lives of their employees, such as:
• The introduction of 12 weeks’ (fully) paid parental leave
• The provision of 27 days’ paid leave
• The reimbursement of in vitro fertilisation protocols (for 93% of companies)
In addition, the majority of companies encourage their employees to volunteer or take training courses.
