Microsoft PH employees to get enhanced leave benefits
Multinational company rolls out new leave policies for
parents and family caregivers
Microsoft Philippines has introduced a new suite
of enhanced leave benefits for its employees, including a minimum of 20-weeks
paid leave for birth mothers and a minimum of six-weeks paid leave for new
fathers.
“We believe in fostering a healthy work-life balance. And
at times, your personal commitments and responsibilities outside the office
deserve all your focus. This is something Microsoft fully understands and
supports,” described Karrie Ilagan, Microsoft Philippines Managing Director.
The company’s enhanced leave benefits also cover adoptive
parents and parents who choose to have a child via surrogacy.
Likewise, the Information Technology leader has leave
policies for family caregivers—allowing employees to take a four-week full-paid
leave to care for immediate family members with serious health conditions.
“Our employees bring their best to work everyday to
support our mission, strategy, and culture. In return, we want to bring the
best to them as well by continually providing them world-class benefits to
ensure they have the time they need to take care of those that matter the most
in their lives,” concluded Ilagan.
