Effective July 30, 2021, this policy is applicable to all new parents, and can be availed by new fathers anytime within 12 months of the birth/ adoption of the child, thereby allowing the mother to better manage her career as well as other priorities. Through this flexible policy, Diageo India intends to challenge conventional norms associated with motherhood, such as the “primary-caregiver”.
Aziz told ET that Diageo’s journey of inclusion started around seven years ago. On the gender diversity front, it has been able to increase the number of women to 22% in the overall workforce. At senior levels, there is 31% representation of women at the top, and 50% representation in the executive committee compared to none earlier.
In addition to parental leave, the “Family Leave Policy” offers Diageo India employees a host of other benefits and opportunities. This includes flexible working hours, creche allowance, maternity, and surrogacy coverage, up to 10-weeks leave in the unfortunate event of miscarriage, and many more benefits.
