Read about Bloomberg’s updated, expanded parental leave policy<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n \n

Bloomberg has always aimed to provide world class benefits to employees: It\u2019s been a business imperative that has helped propel the company to reach its 36th consecutive year of revenue growth in 2017.<\/p>\n

Twenty five years after the U.S. Congress passed the Family and Medical Leave Act, Columbia Journalism Review<\/a> is out this week with an article looking at how U.S. news organizations stack up in parental leave policies.<\/p>\n

The bottom line: Bloomberg\u2019s policy is highlighted as one of the most generous. Bloomberg\u2019s policy for new parents provides 18 fully paid weeks of leave for the primary caregiver and 4 weeks fully paid leave for non-primary caregivers. We also provide 15 days of backup child care.<\/p>\n

In 2015, the company doubled down on parental leave, establishing a gender neutral policy that treats all parental leaves equally to better reflect the needs of modern families, including same-sex couples and adoptive parents.<\/p>\n

As Columbia Journalism Review reports, Bloomberg also provides manager training and transition coaching for parents returning from leave, according to Erika Irish Brown, Bloomberg\u2019s chief diversity and inclusion officer.<\/p>\n

Brown explained that Bloomberg \u201caims to be world class in HR,\u201d in order to remain a competitive employer-of-choice.<\/p>\n

In addition to comprehensive health, dental and vision care, Bloomberg also provides employees with on-site health centers in our largest offices, fresh fruits and snacks in all of our locations and in the U.S., four weeks of vacation for full-time employees.<\/p>\n

Our colleagues are our most important asset. As we continue to grow, Bloomberg remains focused on recruiting and retaining a talented and diverse workforce, providing comprehensive benefits evolving to meet the needs of our 19,000 colleagues around the globe.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
