We attribute the success to lot of areas but this one in particular makes us proud of J&J:
The company's enhanced paternity
leave policy under which new and adoptive fathers will be entitled
to eight weeks of paid leave during the first year of birth or adoption.
Diversity isn't just based around one gender.
Having a father figure is important for every child regardless of their sex. While everyone is stressing on how important it is to have equal partnership and responsibilities in raising children, more and more companies are offering equal maternity and paternity leave because they understand the importance of both parents in the lives of their children.
We at Diverse Customer applaud
Johnson and Johnson for setting this milestone and continuing with many other diversity, inclusion and social impact initiatives. As part of our Employer
Branding services, we routinely research the best employee practices that can
lead to a more effective, productive, happier staff that stays with our client
organisations longer.
We only hope that such moderate
policies make their way to other regions and across borders in opening a path
forward following J&J's footsteps.
Congratulations to men and their continued stride to gender equality
and with this statement, let us not set any tone towards men that's negative,
disempowering and rather hypocritical. We believe that giving fathers more
valuable time with their children is truly a phenomenal step!
