Great Place To Work Names RSM one of the Best Workplaces for Parents™ for 2024

CHICAGO – (December 13, 2024) – Great Place To Work® (GPTW) has named RSM US LLP (“RSM”) – the leading provider of assurance, tax and consulting services for the middle market – as one of the Best Workplaces for Parents™ for 2024, joining American Express, Bank of America, Cisco, HubSpot, Zillow Group and other prominent employers. This is the fifth year RSM has been named to this prestigious list.

“Being named as one of the Best Workplaces for Parents for 2024 highlights RSM’s dedication to more than just careers – we’re building lives,” said Ty Beasley, chief talent officer with RSM US LLP. “At RSM, we understand that when parents feel supported by their workplace, they can thrive both at home and at work. This recognition reflects our commitment to fostering a culture where family and professional success go hand-in-hand.” 

GPTW has been surveying employees around the world about their workplace experiences for 30 years, developing a set of themes and metrics that not only reveal whether employees feel their workplace is great, but also predict retention, agility and overall business success. Using its proprietary Trust Index™ survey, they measure the core of what creates great workplaces – key behaviors that drive trust in management, connection with colleagues and loyalty to the company.

According to GPTW, the company you work for plays a big role in your mental health. Managers have a larger impact on employees’ mental health than their doctor or therapist. The 2024 Fortune Best Workplaces for Parents™ list shows that a consistently positive experience at work contradicts the trend seen at typical workplaces, according to research from Great Place To Work®.

At these companies, 90% of working parents look forward to coming to work, and 91% say they want to work for their company long term. But for parents at typical workplaces, only 52% of parents look forward to their work each day, and just 65% plan to stay in their role. One of the key differences between the Best Workplaces for Parents and a typical workplace is how much control parents feel they have over their experience. In practice, that often comes down to interactions with their direct manager.

“What makes the biggest difference for working parents is if they feel their people manager wants them to succeed at work and at home,” said Michael C. Bush, CEO at Great Place To Work. “When parents feel their people leader and company cares, they give more effort and your business reaps the benefits. Giving parents a sense of control over their work environment unlocks their creativity and passion.”  

In addition to this most recent recognition, PEOPLE Magazine and Great Place To Work® named RSM to their 2024 PEOPLE Companies that Care list, and Fortune and Great Place To Work™ named RSM to the 2024 Fortune Best Workplaces in Chicago list as well as the 100 Best Companies to Work For in 2024 list.
