Better Jobs with Companies That Care - June 28, 2017

It’s summertime - who wants to think about work? (Answer: pretty much nobody). BUT - that makes it a perfect time to take advantage of your nearest and (not so dearest) competition and get a leg up on the job front. New this week: we list companies that care with our fave benefits and those offering remote work (SCORE) on our new companies page. So what are you waiting for - head there now before someone beats you to it.


FEATURED COMPANY THAT CARES: APPLE

Apple, the company that makes the very products you probably use every day, is hiring. When it comes to their practices and benefits, Apple exemplifies what we look for in companies that care. They hire inclusively, and they do more than believe in pay equity — they’ve actually achieved it: Women earn one dollar for every dollar male employees earn in the United States for similar roles and performance. And whether it’s maternity leave, new parent leave, adoption assistance, backup care, student loan refinancing, or product discounts, Apple has benefits that fit your lifestyle and then some.

What is a DEI hire — and is it a fair term?

As workplaces evolve, the term “DEI hire” has become a point of contention. For some, it represents a commitment to diversity and inclusion; for others, it raises concerns about tokenism and fairness.

This debate has recently intensified as broader conversations around diversity, equity, and inclusion face growing scrutiny. Following a 2023 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that struck down race-conscious college admissions, legal and political challenges to DEI initiatives surged. Critics argue that these measures unfairly disadvantage historically dominant groups (think White Americans or those who’ve faced fewer systemic barriers), while supporters maintain that DEI is essential for creating equitable opportunities.
