We won the ‘Best for Dads’ award at last week’s Top Employer Awards.
The awards, organised by workingdads.co.uk sister site workingmums.co.uk, recognise best practice and innovation in supporting parents in the workplace.
We’re really proud that we we’re one of the first UK employers back in 2017, to launch an equal parental leave policy.
We offer parents in our UK business 12 months’ parental leave, with six months at full basic pay when a new child arrives. That’s for all parents regardless of gender or how they became a parent, including adoption and surrogacy.
Our Chief People Officer Danielle Harmer said:
“Men taking parental leave have a better understanding of the choices female colleagues have to make when balancing parenting with their career which makes them more empathetic colleagues and leaders too. It has also inspired our dads at Aviva to change the way they think about caring responsibilities.”
This is just one of the many ways we’re supporting parents at Aviva.
