WASHINGTON, June 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Evolent
Health, Inc. (NYSE: EVH), a health care company that delivers
proven clinical and administrative solutions to payers
and providers, has been named to the Parity.org Best Companies
for Women to Advance List 2021. This list recognizes organizations
that have implemented a mix of exemplary benefits, policies and
programs that ensure women have significant opportunities to
advance their careers.
Companies on the list were rated in areas of recruitment,
benefits, executive preparation, measurement and representation.
These companies have made a significant commitment to the
advancement of women.
"We are honored to be included for the second year in a row on
Parity.org's list of Best Companies for Women to Advance," said
Evolent Health Chief Talent Officer Michelle Engel. "Fostering inclusion is one of
our core values at Evolent, and we are committed to living that
value every day through our work with one another and with our
partners. We know we are best positioned to achieve our mission and
support patients and members when all voices and perspectives are
heard. We look forward to continuing to ensure equity for the women
of Evolent who contribute so much to our company's mission and
success."
Companies on the 2021 list share many common best practices that
are known to support women, such as work-from-home or telecommute
options (97%), flexible working hours (94%), and equal paid family
leave for men and women (88%). Nearly every company measures and
reports on gender parity to the executive team (97%), and every
single company regularly communicates their gender-parity values to
employees, encourages men to take their full family leave and has a
zero-tolerance policy for harassment.
"After a year that has erased all the gains women have made in
the past several decades, there are still companies that are making
progress to support women's advancement at work—all the more reason
to celebrate their successes," said Parity.org founder and CEO
Cathrin Stickney. "The companies
that are on the 2021 list of Best Companies for Women to Advance
are shining examples of companies that actually walk the talk and
are helping create equal representation, now."
