Organisations with 250 staff or more are being urged to publish their shared parental leave on their websites to improve transparency and encourage competition on pay. “So what?” you may say, “we are not a big business”. Very true, but it’s also possible that your own staff are unaware of Shared Parental Leave and how it works and finding out could be a benefit to them.

There is an innate taboo about asking one’s employer about legal benefits – a reluctance to seem pushy.

For example:

Once you discover an employee is pregnant, it doesn’t hurt to sit down and ask if they are aware of Maternity and Shared Parental Leave rights.

Only 2% of eligible parents have taken up the scheme since it was introduced in 2015, according to https://www.personneltoday.com/hr/government-launches-shared-parental-leave-campaign-just-2-take/figures from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.

I would like to thank you all for the care and attention you gave to ensure that our housekeeper was just right for us.

My family back home has welcomed me and I am enjoying my new life with the family you found for me.

Using The Graham Agency was a truly good decision, from first chat to welcoming the candidate you found for us was simplicity itself. Excellent matchmaking.

I have been working for this family now for just over a year, and am able to enjoy life and save.

The idea of finding a domestic staff member for the first time on our own was intimidating, so we would like to express our gratitude for taking away all the issues for us.

I would just like to say a big Thank You for finding the perfect job for me.
