Mississippi-based telecommunications giant C Spire has been recognized as one of America’s greatest workplaces for parents and families in 2024 by two major outlets.
Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group determined the nation’s most family-friendly companies by conducting a large-scale employer study based on more than 693,000 company reviews. C Spire received a four-star rating in the mid-size company category.
“We are incredibly honored to be recognized as one of America’s Greatest Workplaces for Parents and Families in 2024,” C Spire President & CEO Suzy Hays said.
“This award showcases our dedication to fostering a supportive environment, enabling our team members to balance work and personal lives. At C Spire, we strive daily to deliver for our customers, while recognizing that what our team members have at home should always be their priority. This culture supports families and contributes to our success.”
Recognizing the importance of what awaits team members at home, C Spire officials boast offerings such as generous paid time off that affords flexibility for vacation, illness, and personal leave. Additionally, support is given through a comprehensive benefits package aimed at safeguarding the health and well-being of team members and their families.
This includes high-quality health insurance options with a low employee cost share, telehealth services, wellness and employee assistance programs, retirement savings contributions, and life and disability insurance.
“As more parents juggle raising a family with their work obligations, they want employers who offer flexibility and are supportive of work-life balance,” Global Editor in Chief for Newsweek Nancy Cooper said. “Newsweek and market-data research firm Plant-A Insights are proud to introduce ‘America’s Greatest Workplaces for Parents & Families 2024,’ highlighting companies that are lauded by their employees as great places to work.”
To empower team members, C Spire offers extensive professional development opportunities, including tuition assistance, external continuing education, in-house training and development courses, and opportunities like Team of Teams, which facilitates cross-functional collaboration for innovation and problem-solving.
