Hasbro announced today that it has been included in Seramount’s 2021 100 Best Companies for Working Mothers and 2021 Best Companies for Dads. Seramount (formerly Working Mother Media) revealed its annual list of the 2021 100 Best Companies today, representing almost four million employees in the United States, as well as their fourth annual list of the 2021 Best Companies for Dads.



This year’s winners are focusing on inclusive benefits for families, including paid gender-neutral parental leave, backup childcare, and how these organizations supported their employees throughout COVID-19.



"We believe our employees are the heart of Hasbro. And now, more than ever, we are committed to fostering a workplace that embraces flexibility and inclusion. We have a responsibility to provide resources that support every chapter of our employee’s experience”, said Dolph Johnson, EVP and Chief Human Resources Officer.



This year Seramount added specific questions about how organizations helped parents and caretakers with time off, flexible hours, and other benefits during COVID-19. There is a significant difference between the responses of companies that made the list and those that didn’t, showcasing how the 100 Best Companies and the Best Companies for Dads pivoted to help working families.

  • Seventy-eight percent of the 100 Best Companies increased mental-health coverage for employees and/or dependents as a result of COVID-19 (compared to 47 percent of non-winners).
  • Sixty-five percent of the 100 Best Companies allowed employees to hire and pay any new caregivers (not part of the company-supported network) because of COVID-19 (compared to 25 percent of non-winners), and 63 percent increased childcare reimbursements because of COVID-19 (compared to 29 percent of non-winners).
  • Seventy-three percent of the 100 Best Companies gave employees extra time off in 2020 because of COVID-19 (compared to 67 percent of non-winners).
  • Fifty-nine percent of the 100 Best Companies increased health insurance coverage for employees and/or dependents as a result of COVID-19 (compared to 40 percent of non-winners).
  • Eighty-seven percent of the 100 Best Companies trained managers in best practices for managing staff remotely (compared to 77 percent of non-winners).
  • Seventy-five percent of Best Companies for Dads gave employees extra time off in 2020 because of COVID-19.
  • Sixty percent of Best Companies for Dads increased health insurance coverage for employees and/or dependents as a result of COVID-19.
  • Eighty-two percent of Best Companies for Dads increased mental-health coverage for employees and/or dependents as a result of COVID-19. 
  • Sixty-two percent of Best Companies for Dads increased childcare reimbursements because of COVID-19.

  • Ninety-one percent of winning companies offer backup childcare in centers, while 79 percent offer backup childcare in the home.


Key findings from the 2021 Best Companies for Dads:
