The 20 best places for new dads to work

Simon Isaacs, cofounder of Fatherly, an online parenting resource for men, says very few US employers provide paid paternity leave today.

"This means a lot of new dads are not able to take time to bond with their babies and be at home with their families," he told Business Insider.

The good news is that the conversation around paternity leave is louder than ever, he said. "We are seeing companies realize the importance of offering longer paid leave options to their workforce."

For a second time, Fatherly decided to find the companies leading the race and spotlight those organizations for its annual list of the Best Places To Work For New Dads.

To compile the list, Fatherly looked at things like paternity leave policies, flexible hours, and telecommuting options. (Read more on the methodology here.)

"These employers are showing that offering new dads more paid time off can be a real competitive advantage - particularly as it relates to recruiting and retaining top talent," Isaacs said.

He added that paternity leave - which is not "time off" - is important for a number of reasons. "There is an increasing body of evidence behind the importance of father-child bonding beginning in the first few weeks," Isaacs said. "With more couples than ever sharing responsibilities at home, paternity leave is also important to support your wife or spouse."

Netflix - which began offering "unlimited" maternity and paternity leave to its employees last year - leads Fatherly's list for 2016. In August, the media giant announced that new moms and dads could take unlimited time off to be with their newborns during the child's first year after birth.
