Haleon announces fully paid 26-week equal parental leave for all employees globally

This policy is one of the most progressive among multinational companies globally and reflects Haleon’s intent to take a leading position as an employer of choice in the exciting growth sector of consumer health. It is a commitment to give equal opportunities to everyone, regardless of gender, to focus on raising a family, in the knowledge that their Haleon careers can continue to flourish. Announced on Haleon’s first day of trading following its demerger from GSK, it sets the tone for our plans to foster an inclusive environment, a key pillar of our broader Diversity, Equity & Inclusion strategy.

Mairéad Nayager, Chief HR Officer, said: “Haleon has a compelling purpose to deliver better everyday health with humanity, and what better way to live this purpose than to support colleagues at an important time in their lives. This is a market leading parental leave policy and is central to Haleon’s ambition of creating an inclusive and diverse workforce and supporting our colleagues to thrive both within their family environment and at work. I am so proud that we can announce this policy on the birth date of Haleon!”

The new parental leave policy is effective from 1 January 2023.
