ShareTheCare
We are proud, at P&G, to introduce the ShareTheCare policy meant to unify paid parental leave. It is a great milestone that works towards our continuous efforts at equality & inclusion. P&G’s ShareTheCare, offers parents the opportunity to care for and bond with their newborns, because expanding a family is a significant and exciting life change, but also a great responsibility.
The benefits of building equality into our parental leave policy are far-reaching. Research has shown that being at home with children for an extended period after birth, can both strengthen the parent/child bond and have positive, long-lasting outcomes for child development, such as improved cognitive and emotional outcomes and physical health.
All new parents are now entitled to a minimum of 8 weeks fully paid leave. In markets, such as Saudi, where mothers are already having more than 8 weeks, there will be no change
