Study says this is New Jersey’s most coveted employer
Sure, they say money talks, but these days benefits scream.
While a bigger paycheck is more than welcome (especially in the Garden State), it’s the perks that matter most to workers.
Perks like top-tier health care, parental leave, and unexpected extras (like food or travel) truly set the best employers apart.

Johnson & Johnson is New Jersey’s most coveted employer
Johnson & Johnson in New Brunswick is a trailblazer in family support. J&J’s dual-career aid and generous fertility benefits outpace industry norms, earning top ranks for working parents.
J&J offers 18-20 weeks of paid maternity leave based how long you’ve been with the company, with eligibility from the 26th week of employment, 12 weeks for all parents, and up to $20,000 per child for adoption or surrogacy.
According to Career Minds,
On-site fitness centers and global mental health support enhance well-being. This commitment to employee life stages makes J&J a standout in New Jersey, blending health innovation with unparalleled care for its workforce.
Fellow New Jersey companies should follow J&J’s model, showing their employees they are a priority with perks beyond a paycheck. It can go a long way.
