Ford Energy Leadership & Management

Ford Energy’s managers demonstrate support for employees by recognizing the importance of family responsibilities and personal well-being. Employees describe leaders who encourage them to take advantage of parental leave and prioritize their families during major life changes, even when they are new to the company. This understanding approach helps build trust between employees and their supervisors, creating an environment where people feel comfortable communicating their needs and supported in balancing their personal and professional lives.

“We had our fifth child soon after I started at Ford. I was shocked with how much paternity leave was provided so soon after my hire. Not only that, but I was worried about backlash since I was still new to the position, but my people leader and supervisors were thrilled for me. They insisted that I take the time my family needed to adjust to our new baby.”
