RIVERWOODS, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Fortune, has ranked Discover 68th on its 2016
list of the 100 Best Workplaces for Millennials, based on surveys of
more than 88,000 millennials at 600 organizations. The Fortune
list recognizes companies that are best in terms of pay, shared
decision-making and fair promotions for millennials.
“Discover is committed to creating a work environment that appeals to
all backgrounds and perspectives, including talented young people, by
offering benefits that take into account their lifestyles and what they
value most,” said Doug Rose, chief human resource officer for Discover.
“Offering benefits like tuition assistance and commuter reimbursement,
as well as supporting Employee Resource Groups that connect our people
to each other and to the company’s mission, helps Discover attract
outstanding diverse talent that drives broader thinking.”
The surveys, conducted by Great Place to Work®, asked
employees born in 1981 or later about 58 workplace-quality topics,
including support for their professional development, managerial concern
for their personal lives, communication channels, transparency, and
their ability to be themselves during work hours. The ranking was
announced last week.
“Our ideas are always heard, no matter your age or title in the
company,” said 31-year-old Discover employee George Kraniotis, who
co-chairs the company’s employee resource group for young professionals.
“They provide a number of avenues to voice opinions on everything from
benefits that fit your lifestyle, to suggestions for new product
launches.”
"There are more similarities than differences when it comes to what
different generations want in a great workplace," says Michael C. Bush,
CEO of Great Place to Work®. "Our research shows that company
pride, a sense of community and competent, ethical leadership can bring
millennials, gen Xers and baby boomers together for a great,
high-performing workplace."
Discover’s employee benefits include 25 days of paid time-off in the
first year, tuition reimbursement, competitive 401k options, employee
stock purchase options and commuter discounts and conveniences.
