Diageo expands leave policy
Diageo is rolling out its ambitious parental leave policy to new markets. The drinks giant will offer female employees in all markets a minimum of 26 weeks of fully paid leave, while in a significant number of countries — including Spain, the Netherlands, Ireland and Italy — new fathers will also be offered the same benefits. The company, which already offers 26 weeks of leave to UK parents, was last year named the fourth most inclusive and diverse company in the world by Thomson Reuters.
