Childcare | Microsoft employee delighted at THIS part of employer's paternity offering

A Microsoft employee has shared a heartwarming gift package sent to his baby from his employer as part of the software giant’s generous paternity offerings.

Avi Shalom Ardon, a Finance Manager at Microsoft, recently became a father to a baby girl. His employer sent the new addition to his family a ‘Welcome Baby Box’, which included gifts, a cozy blanket and information about the services Microsoft offer for parents.

Virgin, Deloitte and Linklaters LLP run similar schemes – providing small gifts for their maternity-leave mothers so they continue to feel connected to the place of work. Emma Codd, Managing Partner of Talent at Deloitte called it the “single most engaging thing we do for our people.”
