Work/Life Balance

One of our values is respect, which we define as ‘respecting the ideas and work-life balance of all of our associates.’ Below are several examples of initiatives that support the work-life balance of our associates.

Childcare Back-up Program

As previously mentioned, we survey our associates frequently to uncover what they might need. In response to their feedback we created our Childcare Back-up Program.

Associates can bring their children to one of Bright Horizons’ 250+ registered daycare centers or 1,000 network centers any day when a child’s school is closed or the regular caregiver is out sick or on vacation. In addition, this program also offers in-home care for those associates who don’t live or work near one of the centers or who need someone to watch a sick child.

Broadridge has also teamed up with the Learning Care Group, which operates 1,100+ U.S. child daycare centers, to provide associates with a 10% discount off the standard tuition rate for children between the ages of 2 and 12. In addition, the Dependent Care FSA allows associates to contribute between $500 and $5,000 pre-tax dollars to cover the costs of dependent care. Broadridge also offers associates adoption assistance.

ComPsych

ComPsych Broadridge’s work/family vendor, is a resource available to our associates and their household members at no cost to help them balance their daily responsibilities and life events. Associates may access ComPsych online for referrals to comprehensive services including:

  • Confidential consultation on personal issues
  • Legal information and resources
  • Information, referrals and resources for work-life needs
  • Financial information, resources and tools
  • Online information, resources and tools

Flex Work

We believe we only encourage commitment from our associates when we help them to balance life and work. For this reason – based on department flexibility – we offer flexible work solutions, such as:

  • Telecommuting
  • Alternative work schedules
  • Flexible and/or compressed work schedules
  • Flexible summer hours
  • Job sharing

All of our associates can take advantage of personal days and our vacation flex plan – which enables all full- and part-time associates to choose an additional one week of vacation time in lieu of one week’s pay.
