‘SHARE THE CARE’ POLICY: Under the ‘Share the Care’ policy launched by P&G India in February, 2021, at its virtual #WeSeeEqual summit , all new parents including biological parents, domestic partners, adoptive parents, or same-sex couples, would be able to get fully paid leave of eight weeks with an additional six weeks’ recovery leave for birth mothers. P M Srinivas, VP and Head (human resources), P&G Indian sub-continent, said, “We believe care for home and family has no gender. Our new ‘share the care’ parental leave policy drives positive change by providing equal opportunity to all parents to share caregiving for new family members. ‘Share the care’ program is not just a policy change, but a step towards shifting cultural norms in India by making child caregiving unbiased. It also helps new parents spend more time with the child and enable effective bonding, especially in the early weeks. It also allows both parents to provide support to each other on this Journey.”.. |
