AGE FRIENDLY EMPLOYMENT

Smart employers are creating low-cost, high-impact ways to attract or retain workers age 50+. Emily McCrary-Ruiz-Esparza reports that “Fannie Mae, Booking.com, and SentinelOne are among the companies adding a new perk to their family policies: grandparent leave.”

“The policy, as it goes, gives paid time off to employees at the birth or adoption of a grandchild. And given the growing number of grandparents in the workforce, plus the ballooning cost of childcare, workers are excited about what’s come to be called grandternity leave.”

You will find the story in Quartz at https://qz.com/grandparent-leave-new-work-benefit-for-families-1850762023.
