I work for a company that offers 6 months maternity and paternity at full pay to all employees from day 1 of employment. This covers adoption too. Parents can take additional unpaid or statutory paid leave as desired. As you might imagine it is a company that people want to work for, that retains staff and that has a good work life balance. In most roles asking to work compressed or reduced hours is a possibility. Even though I missed out on this perk personally, it makes me happy to work at a place that treats employees so well, and doesn't hold people back just because they want to have a family. Compared to other companies I've seen, far more women here return to the workplace after having children.
