Best for Parents in 2024

Fortune magazine and Great Place to Work^® have selected First American Equipment Finance as one of the 2024 Best Workplaces for Parents. This is First American’s second time being named to this nationwide list, this year coming in at #21 (under 1,000 FTE). Earning a spot means that First American is one of the best companies for parents to work for in the country.

The Best Workplaces for Parents^™ list is based on the analysis of survey responses from over 635,000 employees with parenting responsibilities at Great Place To Work Certified^™ companies. In that survey, 98% of colleagues at First American said it is a great place to work, compared to 57% of employees at a typical U.S.-based company.

The Best Workplaces for Parents award is highly competitive. Great Place To Work^® determines its lists using its proprietary For All^™ methodology to evaluate and certify thousands of organizations in America’s largest ongoing annual workforce study, based on over 1.3 million survey responses and data from companies representing more than 8.2 million employees. In addition to employee feedback, Great Place To Work^® collected company data on industry, revenue, employee demographics, parental leave, adoption benefits, flexible scheduling, and more. Winning companies were those that offered the most positive outcomes for working parents regardless of job role, race, gender, sexual orientation, work status, or other demographic identifier.

“We all want to thrive in our careers and at home. I am proud of my colleagues for creating a positive culture at First American that fosters an inclusive workplace for all,” said CEO, Alan Sikora. “Their flexibility and dedication has created a supportive environment where working parents can flourish, both personally and professionally.”

First American offers comprehensive benefits, including subsidies for daycare, fertility, and adoption expenses, hybrid work flexibility, unlimited sick time, paid family leave, expectant mother parking spots, and baby care packages. The company also hosts family-friendly events throughout the year and actively contributes to community organizations that uplift children, such as Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Rochester and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

First American’s vision is to become the best company to work for, and the best company to work with. Earlier this year, Energage named First American the #1 Top Midsize Workplace in Rochester (125-399 FTE) and #9 on the Top Workplaces USA list (150-499 FTE). Best Companies Group named First American as the #1 Best Company to Work for in New York (250+ FTE). First American was also recognized on the 2024 PEOPLE^® Companies that Care list. In 2024, Fortune magazine and Great Place to Work^® ranked First American as a Best Workplace in NY^™, a Best Workplace for Millennials^™, a Best Medium Workplace^™, and a Best Workplace in Financial Services and Insurance^™. Selling Power magazine named First American among the 60 Best Companies to Sell For in 2024.
