At Northwestern Mutual, we understand that life doesn't pause when you step into the office. Our flexible culture enables our employees who are parents to balance their professional and personal lives, so they can thrive both at work and at home.
But don’t take it from us. Check out what our own employees had to say when asked about what having a work-life balance at NM means to them.
“At work, I oversee a team responsible for delivering technology solutions to our field force. And as a mom to a 14-year-old boy and an 11-year-old girl, my role looks more like discussions around the dinner table, cheering them on from the sidelines and enjoying this time when they still want to hang out with my husband and me. Both roles are part of who I am, and it feels good to know that Northwestern Mutual supports me in having the flexibility to do both.
- Dana, VP Field Sales Enablement Engineering
“Working at Northwestern Mutual means having the flexibility to work when and where you need to. This is an employee-friendly company and because of that everyone understands that certain things come before work, and those needs should be taken into account. Because of the flexibility in my day, I can leave early to go pick my daughter up from daycare, which is something I really appreciate.”
- Symone, Sr HR Consultant
“Being here at Northwestern Mutual for the last 20 years, I’ve had the opportunity to basically grow up here. This is my first job out of college, I've gotten married, I've had a child, and the benefits and the support that NM has given me throughout those life events has been fantastic. They want us to show up and do our best every day, but they know that our work is only one piece of our life, and that other things take a priority too.”
- Megan, Senior Director Underwriting
“Coming to Northwestern Mutual, I learned that work life balance is really valued here, which is very important and critical to me. I appreciate that I can manage my work, while still being there for key moments as my daughters are growing up.”
- Anant, Senior Director Software Engineering
