Deuterman Law Group makes Family Friendly 40 List two years in a row
(GREENSBORO - October 19, 2008) For the second year in a row, the Deuterman Law Group has been recognized for its family-friendly employment practices.
The law firm made Carolina Parenting's Family Friendly 40 list of companies statewide that offer unique benefits and incentives that help working parents balance their professional and family obligations. Only seven other companies in the Triad made the list.
Carolina Parenting, which publishes Piedmont Parent and Carolina Parent magazines, has been compiling its Family Friendly 40 list for 10 years. Companies were nominated to the Family Friendly 40 list by employees, and finalists were required to complete a questionnaire and benefits survey. Employees were able to submit testimonials.
"These 40 companies provide phenomenal examples of strong benefits packages, flexible work arrangements and other creative programs to help employees balance work and family life," according to the editors at Carolina Parenting.
The Deuterman Law Group was singled out for a number of things it does to make employees' lives easier, so they don't have to choose between family and work. Employees (and the magazine's editors) praised DLG for offering back-up childcare, allowing employees to bring their children to work during school breaks, and letting employees job share, telecommute and adapt their work schedules to their family's needs.
Like the other family-friendly companies, the Deuterman Law Group offers a host of benefits to its employees that aren't common at many workplaces. The company offers extended leave for childbirth and adoption and allows new moms to phase back into work at their own pace. The company also encourages employeees to volunteer and gives them time off to do so.
"As a company, we believe it's paramount to treat people with dignity and respect," said Daniel L. Deuterman, president and founding attorney of the Deuterman Law Group. "That's one of the primary reasons that we're a family-friendly workplace. The employee-employer relationship shouldn't be adversarial, and at many places it is because companies can be so inflexible about rules and benefits. We don't operate that way. Our employees feel empowered in their jobs, and they know that we understand that work isn't their only priority."
The Deuterman Law Group is in good company. Other businesses on the Family Friendly 40 include American Express, Bank of America, Duke Energy, Duke University and Health System, Kindermusik International, Replacements Ltd., SAS Institute and UNC Health Care.
