[quote=Anonymous]It’s OP. My last kiddo is 15 mos, so I don’t check this side of the forum much and forgot I shared this.

A few things:
* Reaction to this has been extremely positive (there is an anonymous place for people to give feedback to our policies)
* I’m a c-level executive and WOC, and yes, this policy is now in place
* We have minimum staffing ratios, with a plan in place to ensure staffing needs are met 
* We actually have been thinking about a sabbatical benefit, ex: after you’re at the org for # years you qualify for # months (unless you’ve already taken paid leave within previous X year period)
* We have a very strong policy in place to promote diversity recruitment
* People are our greatest asset; we view this as investing in our long-term future 
* It’s hard not to get annoyed at people in this thread who shit on something like this that is meant to be supportive of the reality that most people have families or get sick at some point in their lives. But then I remember people get angry because we’ve been conditioned to think that if you get something, that means there’s less for me. It doesn’t have to be that way. I believe we can create a work environment that is supportive of all our employees.
