In a win for both employees and the broader community, the City of Henderson has once again been recognized as one of the Best Places for Working Parents in 2026. This marks the third year in a row the city has earned this national honor — a testament to its consistent commitment to workplace policies that support families.
More Than a Title — It’s a Commitment to People
This award isn’t handed out lightly. Cities are evaluated based on research-backed policies that benefit working parents — from flexible schedules and paid leave to healthcare, childcare support, and career development. Henderson’s spot on the list proves it’s walking the talk when it comes to employee well-being and work–life balance.
It also reflects the city’s broader strategy: creating a strong, supportive civic culture where both employees and residents can thrive. For working families, this means access to not just quality city services, but a workplace that understands what it takes to juggle both career and caregiving.
How Henderson Leads by Example
The city has implemented a variety of policies designed to ease the pressure on working parents. These include:
Competitive benefits and wellness programs
Flexibility where roles allow it
Inclusive workplace culture with long-term family-first planning
Supportive leadership that champions people-centered policies
The result? A public sector employer that doesn’t just check boxes, but genuinely invests in its workforce.
Why It Matters for Everyone
This recognition also helps Henderson attract top-tier talent — a key driver in maintaining its reputation as one of Nevada’s best-run cities. A city that supports its workers sets a tone for how it serves its residents.
Henderson continues to position itself as a standout not only for its beautiful neighborhoods and amenities but for its thoughtful approach to the people who keep it running.
