Deloitte UK introduces equal paid leave for all new parents

Deloitte UK is making history with a groundbreaking move toward workplace equality.

Starting January 2025, the firm will offer 26 weeks of fully paid parental leave to all new parents, regardless of gender.

This shift is more than just a policy update; it’s a statement about fairness, inclusion, and the future of work.

For years, parental leave policies have reinforced outdated gender roles, often limiting fathers to minimal time off while placing the bulk of caregiving on mothers.

Deloitte is changing the game by providing equal support to all parents, allowing families to share responsibilities from day one.

Beyond parental leave, the company is also introducing paid leave for neonatal care, caregiving, and fertility treatments, ensuring employees feel supported through every stage of life.

With research showing that equal parental leave reduces the gender pay gap and improves employee retention, this move could inspire a major shift across industries.

Could this be the future of workplace equality? Read the full article to find out.
