The biopharmaceutical company, appearing for the third time on this list, goes far beyond traditional employee assistance to ensure workers are not just physically healthy but mentally fit as well.
  • Working parents have access to on-site child care run by Bright Horizons.
  • The company partners with Maven to provide around-the-clock family benefits for every path to parenthood, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
  • The Aspiring Leaders program, launched in 2021, has doubled in size to accommodate more participants after the first offering saw three times the number of applicants the company was hoping for within the first 24 hours.
  • Employees are encouraged to think philanthropically, with Horizon matching employee donations.
  • “From the moment I joined Horizon as an entry-level employee, I was given opportunities to bring new ideas to the table and share them with executive leadership,” said one employee. “I was able to voice my opinion on decisions that would impact the business at a larger level, which has allowed me to grow personally and professionally early in my career.”
