Paternity Leave - It’s a Big Thing
By admin
Paternity leave is now a big seller for potential employers. Only 2 years ago, a mere 42% of the nation’s most family-friendly employers offered paid paternity leave. Today, that number has ballooned to 75%. In fact, women are saying that their maternity and the overall birthing process is less stressful knowing that their hubbies will be home for a few weeks after the birth of a child.
