Halfway through 2016, the Zeitgeist of culture building has led to an increased focus on the employee experience. Central to this has been the development of parental leave laws and policies – many of which come with complications around communication, implementation and compliance. On Tuesday, August 24th, we held an event in New York focused on how businesses are successfully planning for and implementing leave policies that set their organizations and employees up for success. The slide decks are posted below. Thanks to all who attended!
