SMEC Holdings: 14 weeks for primary carers
“In our construction workforce, it’s really transformed the ability of, particularly, dads in quite a blokey culture to now be able to have a conversation with their teams about their need to access flexibility as well.” “The research shows that men being more actively involved in childcare increases their wellbeing and happiness,” Ms Wooldridge said.
Meanwhile, 1500 women and 34,000 men took employer-funded secondary carer’s leave for an average of about two and a half weeks.
