H&R Block’s Inclusive Culture for Women Earns Forbes Recognition
26 Juli 2022 - 6:29PM
H&R Block (NYSE: HRB) earned a spot on Forbes’ list of
America’s Best Employers for Women due to the company’s continued
dedication to create a connected and inclusive culture, and place
of belonging for all associates.
This was the second time the company received this distinction,
and the Best Employers for Women 2022 were chosen based on an
independent survey of 50,000 employees of companies with at least
1,000 workers at U.S. operations. Forbes teamed up with market
research company Statista to identify the companies liked most by
female workers. This year, H&R Block is one of four companies
in Kansas City and 400 total to earn a spot in the top 200.
To continue to create a sense of belonging, the company's
internal Belonging@Block initiative helps guide several
associate-led Belonging Groups, which includes the company's
Women's Network. This group works to connect and motivate women at
Block as they pursue professional success, as well as personal
fulfillment.
“I'm proud of the work of the Women's Network at Block as it
focuses on ways to advocate, educate, inspire and bring about
change,” said Tiffany Monroe, Chief People and Culture Officer and
Executive Sponsor of the Women’s Network at H&R Block. “We
consistently collect, manage and report against key performance
indicators to measure and improve gender diversity.”
In addition to Belonging Groups, the company offers benefits to
support women including, expanded paid leave for all types of
parenting and caregiving, infertility, surrogacy and adoption
support, pregnancy support and more. The most recent benefit
announced was reimbursement for eligible travel-related expenses
for reproductive healthcare that cannot be accessed within 100
miles of an associate’s home address due to local restrictions.
"We want every associate at H&R Block to feel supported by
the company," said Karen Orosco, President of Global Consumer Tax
and Service Delivery and Executive Sponsor of the Women’s Network
at H&R Block. "Whether it’s through Belonging Groups, the
benefits we offer, or just making sure we give everyone an
opportunity to be heard in meetings, we will continue to do all
that we can to be a leader in inclusivity."
