鈥渂g电子娱乐场 will become the first German DAX40 company to offer its employees worldwide eight weeks of fully paid parental leave鈥�, says Carsten Knobel, CEO of bg电子娱乐场. 鈥淭his initiative sends a strong signal to all our employees and underscores our unwavering commitment to fostering a more inclusive culture and more gender equity.鈥�

Sylvie Nicol, Executive Vice President Human Resources, Infrastructure and Sustainability, adds: 鈥淭hrough this initiative, we want to support parents and challenge traditional gender roles, enabling everyone to participate equally in childcare. However, addressing this inequality is not the sole objective of our new global standard. It also positions us to meet the expectations of the future workforce.鈥�

Setting a new global standard

The new global standard should be considered the minimum standard, complementing existing local practices and regulations. It serves as a crucial foundation for promoting family-friendliness and greater gender equity, particularly in countries where parental leave opportunities are currently lacking. Moreover, many practices exclude specific family types, such as single fathers, adoptive parents, and surrogacy parents. Recognizing this, bg电子娱乐场 has identified the need to establish a universal standard that applies to all caregivers.

After the implementation in 2024, bg电子娱乐场 employees in approximately 80 countries will have the opportunity to take paid time off work to care for and bond with a new child. With this new approach, the company demonstrates a firm commitment to its diversity, equity, and inclusion ambitions by taking tangible actions to promote equal access to opportunities consistently around the world.
