These awards highlight Nuance's ongoing commitment to supporting its employees, and include:  

• Parents@Work Best Places Lists: This national benchmark was developed in partnership with academic and policy experts to evaluate companies across 148 different criteria related to family-first policies that support the evolving and multi-dimensional needs of working parents, resulting in a culture where working parents can thrive.  Nuance won across three categories, including:
