Any Vodafone employee whose partner is having a baby or adopts a child will have the flexibility to take up to 16 weeks paid leave at any time during the first 18 months.
At the end of the parental leave, employees can choose a 30 hours/week work schedule, for up to six months, while keeping a full time salary, according to the employment contracts they have in force.
“This is a very important step for Vodafone Romania and we are making it with great happiness and confidence, as we want to support our employees and their families. (…) When it comes to benefits and career opportunities, we strongly believe in a well-balanced environment for all employees, which is why we’ll continue to offer internal policies, programs and projects catered to the development and well-being of the Vodafone Romania team,” said Anca Marcu, HR director at Vodafone Romania.
The new HR policy will be introduced by the Vodafone Group globally, in all its 22 operating markets, between April 1, 2020 and March 31, 2021.
