Three Minnesota companies landed on the annual list of
100 Best Companies, compiled by
Working Mother magazine.
Carlson,
General Mills, and
McGladrey were recognized for their family-friendly benefits and programs, which help to keep working mothers' careers on track.
With its baby sign language classes, tuition reimbursement, and high number of female managers, Carlson stood out on the list.
Also notable was General Mills, with free career counseling for employees' unemployed family members. The company was also recognized for having working mothers head five of its seven U.S. retail divisions.
McGladrey made the list for alternative schedules that help employees with work-life balance, and a free coach-on-call program, which offers employees access to sessions with a licensed career coach.
