As the conversation around paid parental leave increases at both national and global levels, some employers are taking matters into their own hands to support their employees. French healthcare company Sanofi is the latest organization to enhance its paid parental leave policy for its 100,000 global workers.
Sanofi’s staff will have access to 14 weeks of paid parental leave at 100% of their salary, as well as an additional two weeks of unpaid leave. Any Sanofi employee, regardless of gender or sexual orientation, will be able to use this time off. The company also offers six months of paid short-term disability leave. Employees will not see a change in policy in countries where the paid leave is greater than 14 weeks.
