Fish in the Boardroom#16 What Men Gain From a Parental LeaveWith Dario Cristiano
This episode is brought to you in cooperation with Advance.
Understanding that equality in the workplace starts at home, several companies offer parental leave programs for men that go beyond the current legal requirements of two weeks. Sadly though, such offers are often not used by men for fear of the professional consequences to their careers.
Yet, studies have shown that when fathers take paternity leave, mothers return to work more easily, female employment is higher, and the earning gap between men and women is lower.
