HR faces parental leave pressure

Netflix has announced it will offer unlimited paid maternity and paternity leave in the first year after a child is born or adopted. In the wake of this announcement, Microsoft and Adobe followed suit announcing unlimited parental leave, joining companies like Virgin Group and Zynga who have all announced similar policies.

In the wake of this growing trend, HR is under more pressure than ever before to secure fair and equal parental leave for employees in SMEs and non-tech companies.
