For employers to have that open, inclusive culture where paternity leave is respected, that can help companies attract and retain the best talent. Workers are increasingly choosing the companies based on the culture. This is a space where any company can give themselves a boost.

I’ve been back at my job for about three months now, and I can already tell you I feel so much more productive and very focused and always looking for ways to be more efficient so I can get home to my family. I’ve heard this from many mothers coming back from maternity leave too. And studies confirm: 80 percent of companies that offer paid family leave report a positive impact on morale, and 70 percent notice a boost in productivity. It’s a positive for any company, and that brings me to my final point.
