A - yesFollowing on from the Mat Leave for MP thread in the Politics Forum, didn’t want to totally derail it:
This year I’m working on trying to increase the uptake in our company of Shared Parental Leave in men. So couple of qs for you chaps:
a) were you aware that you could take “maternity leave” of up to 12 months?
B) What’s stopping you take it/what’s stopped you in the past?
C) what could your company do (sensible solutions please!) to encourage you to take Shared Parental Leave if you were having a baby?
Thanks gents.
B - financial loss / annual performance related bonus, detrimental to career both internally and externally.
C - only works in certain sectors and careers but should be very specific to the sector/company. Plumber in Sunderland v lawyer in the city very different.
