Top 10 Rankings: No. 2 for benefits
Open communication is a priority for the Information Technology Services (ITS) department at AARP, the Washington-based advocacy organization for people aged 50 and over. Quarterly all-staff meetings, skip-level lunches and monthly pop-up videoconferences allow employees at all levels to have ongoing face time with the CIO. Professional development is supported via a tuition reimbursement program and funding for staffers to attend training and conferences. A new caregiving benefit enables eligible employees to request up to two workweeks of paid time off per calendar year to assist family members.
