Our employees are an extension of our family and we’re inspired by the working parents who balance their careers with their home life. Fossil Village is a parental buddy program that connects parents and parents-to-be to share resources and insights. Topics covered in the program include preparing to go on maternity/paternity leave, returning to work from parental leave, family planning, parenting a child with a disability, and more.

Every June, Fossil Group’s PRIDE shines through in our community partnerships, product design, nationwide experiential engagement events and our core values that celebrate all employees for being themselves.
