SAS named a top family-friendly company

Carolina Parent magazine includes SAS among Top 40 for seventh time

CARY, NC  (Aug. 26, 2008)  –  For the seventh time SAS, the leader in business intelligence and analytics,  has been included in Carolina Parent magazine’s Family-Friendly 40 Companies. The list identifies companies in the state that offer comprehensive family-friendly benefits packages. 

SAS’ recognition of employee value drives the company to offer such amenities as onsite child care, an eldercare information and referral program, an onsite healthcare center, wellness programs, a 58,000-square-foot recreation and fitness center with natatorium, an extensive package of benefits and many other work/life programs. 

The policies derive from the employee-focused philosophy behind SAS’ famed corporate culture: if you treat employees as if they make a difference to the company, they will make a difference to the company. With one of the lowest turnover rates in the industry, SAS is reaping the rewards of its work/life programs and family-friendly policies. 

Carolina Parent will publish its tenth annual family-friendly list in the September issue of each regional North Carolina publication: Carolina Parent in the Triangle, Piedmont Parent in the Triad and Charlotte Parent. Additionally, the list will feature specific family-friendly benefits at each chosen company. The winners of the 2008 Top 40 NC Family-Friendly Companies will be honored on Wednesday, Sept. 17, at the Women@Work Breakfast in Durham, NC. The breakfast will feature speaker Pamela Stone, an author and professor in the Department of Sociology at Hunter College and the Graduate Center, University of New York.
