Country Maid’s family-friendly initiatives are designed to ensure team members never have to choose between work and family. Every year, leadership asks the team two simple but important questions: “What about your work life makes your home life hard?” and “What about your home life makes your work life hard?” The feedback they receive helps the company shape and improve benefits to better support everyone.

• New Parent and Child Care Benefits: Country Maid goes the extra mile to support its working parents’ transition into parenthood. These benefits include paid maternity and paternity leave, ramp-on/off scheduling, and new baby gifts. One added benefit from employee feedback is the “Bundle of Joy” bonus. It gives new parents a monetary bonus during the baby’s first year to help with child care, giving them the flexibility to soak up all those important moments.
• Flexibility and Family Support: The company prioritizes family support with flexible schedules, remote work options for office employees, and paid time off for parents to attend to their families’ needs, like school calls and college visits. Manufacturing employees also benefit from the company’s flexibility, allowing them to leave as needed for important family matters, a rare and valuable benefit in their field.
• “Pick Your Pay”: Employees get to choose what works best for them: an annual merit bonus, extra paid time off, or a mix of both. It’s all about giving them the flexibility to tailor their benefits to fit their family’s needs.
• Mental and Spiritual Health Benefits: Country Maid’s comprehensive employee support includes an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for confidential support, extensive mental health coverage, paid bereavement policies, and paid bereavement counseling. They also have an on-site chaplain who provides weekly guidance and confidential support for employees, and is available for off-site assistance in times of need.
