These companies offer so much more than paid time off.

More and more, working moms are telling their employers that they need and deserve more support - and some companies have really been listening.

To honor those organizations setting the standard for work-life practices in the US, Working Mother magazine identified the 100 best companies for working moms.

To compile the list, which is now in its 32nd year, Working Mother surveyed hundreds of companies with more than 400 questions about their paid time off and leave policies, workforce profile, benefits, women's issues and advancement, flexibility policies, and company culture, among other things.

Every company on the list offers fully paid maternity leave, and the majority also offer flextime, backup childcare, professional development opportunities for women, mentoring programs, and career counseling.

Subha Barry, vice president and general manager of Working Mother Media, says these companies are also beginning to embrace a number of emerging trends, including phasing new mothers back into work, the care of elderly family members, and mental health and well-being.

​"All of the companies have created compelling policies and programs that create stickiness - flexible work, generous ​paid leave policies, ​eldercare and bereavemen​t programs, ​plus advancement initiatives tied to ​mentorship​ and ​sponsorship,​" Barry told Business Insider.

Head over to Workingmother.com to check out the comprehensive list of the 100 best companies for working moms - and keep scrolling for some of the best companies that made the list.
