Research Triangle Park, NC, October 13, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Bayer CropScience (http://www.bayercropscience.com), one of the world’s top innovative crop science companies in the areas of crop protection, non-agricultural pest control, seeds and traits, has been named one of the top 2011 parent family-friendly companies by Carolina Parent magazine. Winning companies were selected based on nominations and supporting information with the help of the Kenan Flagler School of Business at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The award recognizes businesses that are committed to helping their employees balance work and family life.
Bayer CropScience was recognized for its outstanding investment in its employees through the addition of programs that decrease physical, mental and emotional stress, and reduce financial burden. Its Mothers at Work program features supportive services and education before and after babies are born, especially for working mothers. The company’s 4 ½ Day Workweek program allows for employees to accomplish personal chores and errands with part of one day away from work and builds employee effectiveness. Bayer CropScience has also a Spouse Career Transition Support Program, Employee Perk Lounge, and a Health and Wellness Center all to ensure that employees are comfortable and healthy. With a goal of making each employee’s child feel like a member of the Bayer family, the company schedules a number of special events throughout the year, such as a family day picnic, a holiday party for children of employees, educational programs and discounts to popular family destinations.
