2024 National Innovator Awards
2023 Inaugural National Innovator Award
The selection of Tyson Foods as the inaugural Best Place for Working Parents® National Innovator Award recipient reflects the company’s exemplary implementation of best practices in onsite child care, setting them apart as an aspirational model for other organizations. Tyson Foods introduced a high-quality onsite child care center that offers nontraditional hour care to meet the needs of its working parent employees in its Humboldt, TN processing plant. Offering this care at a highly reduced rate thanks to a public-private partnership with the state and county makes Tyson Foods one of the few companies in the nation to offer this unique benefit to shift workers, which is among the many commendable reasons Tyson Foods was honored with this award.
