Over the last decade, employers have rapidly added paid parental leave policies. According to Mercer's Absence and Disability Management Survey data, nearly three quarters of large US employers offer paid parental leave beyond legal requirements. In contrast to that growth, several employers recently made headlines when it was revealed that they are reducing their paid parental leave benefits.
