Discover Recognized for Flexible Schedules and Providing Healthy
Lifestyle Programs
RIVERWOODS, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 20, 2013--
Discover ranks 16th on Glassdoor’s list of the “Top 25
Companies for Work-Life Balance,” which recognizes the credit given to
the company by past and present employees for fostering professional
development, creating an engaging work environment and promoting
positive core values.
“Discover’s top 25 ranking recognizes our investment in improving the
lives of our employees both inside and outside of the workplace,” said
Jill Zimmerman, vice president of talent acquisition, development and
diversity at Discover. “This ranking is a further testament to
Discover’s great work environment and committed employees.”
The 2012 ranking, comprised of ratings on a five-point scale, reflects
employees’ positive feedback surrounding Discover’s strong wellness
programs, such as an on-site fitness center at the Riverwoods, Ill.,
location, flexible schedules, a generous vacation day policy and other
benefits, and new learning opportunities.
“In today’s world of smartphones and laptops, striving for work-life
balance can feel virtually impossible given the connection to our jobs
around the clock,” said Rusty Rueff, Glassdoor career and workplace
expert. “Companies that make sincere efforts to recognize employees’
lives outside of the office will often see the payoff when it comes to
recruiting and retaining top talent.”
Glassdoor.com, a free online social jobs and career community,
determines the rankings entirely through employee feedback on working
for the company over the past year.
Discover also was recognized recently in the top 50 on Computerworld’s
2012 “Top 100 Best Places to Work in IT” list and as a “Training
Top 125 Organization” by Training Magazine in 2013.
