Nature to give employees 6 months paid parental leave

Strategic insights agency Nature has implemented a new parental leave policy, offering six months paid leave, or 26 weeks, parental leave. This represents nearly double the average length of paid leave at the majority of agencies in the advertising industry.

Nature said that its policy builds on its commitment to introducing “industry-leading employee culture and well-being initiatives across its Sydney and Melbourne offices”.

The six months, which includes superannuation, will include further additions including support for employees undergoing IVF, as Nature will provide two days of leave per cycle for two cycles per annum, including partner support. There is also pre-adoption and surrogacy support, also covering support partners.
