Reading this brought tears to my eyes. It's incredibly touching to see companies prioritize and uplift their employees, especially women who are juggling the responsibilities of both career and family. This genuine gesture serves as a powerful reminder that every woman deserves to be acknowledged, valued, and supported in her professional pursuits, particularly during significant moments like maternity leave. However, it's disheartening to recognize that not all workplaces extend such compassion and understanding to expectant mothers. There often exists a noticeable gap between the promises made and the actions taken when it comes to supporting mothers-to-be. Let this serve as a beacon of hope and inspiration for all companies to prioritize support, inclusivity, and genuine care for their employees, regardless of their parental status. May this inspire more companies to create environments where both motherhood and career growth are valued and supported. 💚#actionsspeaklouderthanwords #workingmoms

👶 New Paternity Leave & Bereavement Law Passed! The House of Commons has approved crucial legislation.

Bereaved fathers/partners are entitled to 52 weeks of leave during their child’s first year. 🔔 For more industry news check out our HR Heartbeat blog 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gmj5dVEF #HRNews #PaternityLeave #BereavementSupport

Kudos to #HUL on leading the next generation of #HR policies today. Falling fertility rates, ageing population is the reality of India that will only grow in the years to follow. Policies like these not only show the fact that companies and their leadership understand these realities but also care enough to do something about it today. #India #progressive #policies #pto #askhr

Last week, we launched HUL’s Foster and Kinship Caregiver Leave Policy- our latest effort to build an inclusive and equitable workplace. We are extending our care philosophy to cater to diverse familial arrangements. This industry-first program recognizes the importance of supporting all family structures. Employees fostering a child or acting as a legal guardian can now access 4 weeks of leave – available to caregivers of all genders. This, combined with our existing 20+ equitable policies, empowers employees to manage personal and professional commitments with flexibility and takes us one step closer to building a more equitable and supportive workplace for all.

📢 The Paternity Leave (Bereavement) Act 2024 received Royal Assent on the last day of the current Parliament, May 24, 2024, granting working fathers and non-birthing partners automatic rights to immediate paternity leave if the mother dies. This significant legislation ensures that bereaved fathers or non-birthing partners will automatically receive day-one paternity leave in the unfortunate event of the mother’s death or when a child is placed or expected to be placed for adoption, removing the current requirement for 26 weeks' continuous service. The date for implementation hasn't been announced yet, but relevant policies will need to be updated once it is. #employmentlaw #employmentlawupdates #ukemploymentlaw #humanresources Emma Williams Fran Boast Karen Dowse MCIPD Liz Johnston Nishma Patel Jackie McTait Nicky Sheppard
