Parental policy | Spotify's UK director leads by example, taking 6 months paternity leave

Spotify’s UK Managing Director takes six months of paternity leave, highlighting the streaming platform’s liberal parental leave policy, allowing employees up to six months of paid leave when they have a child.

In an interview with Fortune, Even Connaughton, the boss of the music streaming giant’s British arc reflected on his time as a new parent.

“That was harder than being a managing director, without a doubt,” he told Fortune.

“It’s long hours, you don't get much feedback, and any feedback you do get is kind of shouted or cried out.”
