The Agenda
New wave: family leave in the future
Sarah McWhinney and Becs Peedell discuss what’s driving the focus on workplace support for new parents, why the shared parental leave system is broken and what some employers (including Lewis Silkin) are putting in place instead. With the new Labour government introducing day 1 family rights and promising to review the whole system, just how generous are the UK’s family leave schemes and is this a great opportunity to make them less gender-based?
