Best Companies for Working Parents, the Meghan Markle Effect…

Good morning, Broadsheet readers! The former Posh Spice raises a round for her fashion line, British brands are already excited for the “Meghan Markle effect,” and Coins2Day reveals our new list of the 50 Best Companies for Working Parents. Enjoy your Tuesday.

EVERYONE'S TALKING

• What works at Workday. Coins2Day released our list of the 50 Best Companies for Working Parents this morning. The ranking is compiled based on employee feedback—with a particular focus on how parents rate their workplace compared to their colleagues without kids. Also factored in: the availability and generosity of maternity and paternity leave programs, adoption support and childcare programs, as well as access to flexible work options.

This year's No. 1 is Workday, the California provider of cloud-based HR and finance applications. The company offers 100 days of fully-paid maternity leave and 60 days of paid paternity leave. Workday's adoptive parents also get 60 days—though not fully-paid—and part-timers get all the same parental benefits as their FT colleagues. Rounding out our top 10:

2. Ultimate Sofware
3. Deloitte
4. Comcast NBCUniversal
5. Salesforce
6. Edward Jones
7. Cooley
8. SAP America
9. Kimley-Horn
10. Wegmans Food Markets
