Abbott Names Two Employees Working Parents of the Year

Abbott Laboratories has recognized two employees, Veronica Gravely and Tammy Jones, as its Working Parents of the Year. This annual award celebrates individuals who exemplify a balance between their professional responsibilities and their roles as parents.

Veronica Gravely, a supplier quality manager for Abbott's Heart Failure business in Georgia, is a mother of five. Tammy Jones, an administrative assistant in California, is a mother of one and a cancer survivor. Both women highlighted the importance of professional support and flexibility in achieving a healthy work-life integration.

The Working Parents of the Year recognition is part of Abbott's ongoing commitment to supporting employees through various stages of parenthood. The company offers benefits such as parental leave, phased return-to-work options, and flexible scheduling. Abbott has also been recognized by Seramount on its list of 100 Best Companies for offering family-friendly workplaces for the 22nd consecutive year.

Seramount's (formerly Working Mother Institute) list acknowledges organizations that provide supportive environments for working parents. Abbott aims to help its employees achieve their potential both in their careers and personal lives by offering resources and flexibility to navigate the demands of parenthood.
