The Working Mother 100 Best Companies are socially responsible companies who know what it takes to keep their employee mums productive and engaged at work and at home. The Chrysler Group LLC is one of those '100' brands. It once again makes the list of the "100 Best Companies for Working Mothers," compiled by Working Mother magazine. 2012 is the 13th time Chrysler has achieved this prestigious benchmark. Nancy A. Rae, Senior Vice President, Human Resources, Chrysler Group LLC says, "We strive to provide programs and resources that help our employees balance the demands of work and family. We understand that employees will be more productive and engaged when they have peace of mind at home."

The Working Mother 100 Best Companies survey honours organisations for their flexible culture as well as their wide array of progressive workplace programs supporting child care, flexibility, women's advancement, and paid family leave. This is the 27th year Working Mother has recognised socially responsible companies for their initiatives, which is considered as one of the ultimate accolades for work-life practices in corporate America. This year is the 34th anniversary of the magazine, which reaches more than two million readers. It is the leading U.S. magazine for career-committed mothers.
