London Stock Exchange announces global parental leave policy

The London Stock Exchange Group [LSEG] has announced an global equal parental leave policy of 26 weeks’ paid leave.

From 1st July, all LSEG employees with more than 12 months’ service will be offered 26 weeks of fully paid leave when they welcome a child into their family, regardless of the parent’s gender, how they become a parent or where they are located globally.

This period of leave can be followed by an eight-week phased return to work, working 80% of normal hours at full pay. LSEG is also introducing enhanced leave to support families whose children require neonatal care.

Erica Bourne, Chief People Officer at LSEG, said: “We are excited to roll out these offerings that underscore our commitment to being a truly inclusive workplace. Our new global parental leave will help create a supportive environment to encourage greater shared parental responsibility and drive gender equity in our industry. We’re continuously looking to introduce benefits for employees that drive inclusion, enhance the employee experience and help colleagues feel at their best.”
