nVent Named to Dave Thomas Foundation Adoption Advocates List
We are proud to share nVent has earned a spot on the Adoption Advocates list, which was published today by the Dave Thomas Foundation For Adoption. The Foundation produces the list in conjunction with its annual 100 Best Adoption-Friendly Workplaces list. Organizations on the Adoption Advocates list offer financial reimbursement, paid leave or both, but were not included in the 100 Best Adoption-Friendly Workplaces list.
The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption is a national nonprofit public charity dedicated to finding permanent homes for the more than 140,000 children waiting in North America’s foster care systems. Created by Wendy’s® founder Dave Thomas who was adopted, the Foundation implements evidence-based, results-driven national service programs, foster care adoption awareness campaigns and innovative grantmaking.
At nVent, we believe our culture is a differentiator, and take action to foster an environment where employees can bring forward bold ideas and be their authentic selves at work. We support them with life and health benefits which help them care for their families. Sometimes adoptive families have unique needs such as additional appointments, bonding or training. To help new adoptive parents meet these needs, we offer our employees flexible scheduling and paid leave.
