30 Juin 2022 - 03:00PM
Sage (FTSE: SGE), the leader in accounting, financial, HR, and
payroll technology for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs),
today announced the launch of a new parental leave policy for U.S.
colleagues. The high-tech sector has led the market in creating
attractive and progressive parental and family leave policies. This
new policy will enable Sage to attract, engage and retain diverse
and talented colleagues in an increasingly competitive market.
This new parental leave policy provides extended paid time off
to parents, regardless of gender, as they welcome a child into
their lives. Sage is also introducing a leading digital tool to
help colleagues and their families throughout every stage of their
parenting journey.
As part of Sage’s drive for innovation, the company continuously
looks for ways to enhance benefits to be inclusive and competitive,
and meet the needs of diverse colleagues. “Offering programs that
support our colleagues and their growing families is imperative to
our success,” states Aziz Benmalek, Sage President, North America.
“We have analyzed the needs of our colleagues and their families,
as well as benefits and leave trends in the market, and want to
build Sage’s brand as a progressive, inclusive, caring, and leading
employer of choice.”
Taking effect on July 1, 2022:
- Eligible full-time and part-time colleagues may receive 18
weeks of paid parental leave for the birth, adoption, or by
commissioning the surrogacy of a child. This leave is offered to
all new parents, regardless of gender, and Sage will provide 100%
of the colleague’s regular base pay during the leave.
- Cleo, a digital support program, will be available to guide
colleagues and their families throughout every stage of the
parenting journey. The program will provide tools for choosing
childcare, getting financial planning help, finding savings on
activities and supplies, and preparing for changing schedules.
The company’s new paid parental leave policy supports efforts to
help colleagues balance the demands of a career and family and
navigate returning to work. The new policy ensures fair and equal
treatment of all colleagues when a new child arrives and promotes
equal and shared parental responsibilities. Amy Cosgrove, Sage VP
of People, North America added, “The paid parental leave policy
will expose Sage to a broader range of talent, broaden our
representation in the market, increase colleague engagement,
attract key talent, and ultimately, lead to all colleagues feeling
even more positive about working at Sage.”
In 2021, Sage was named to Glassdoor’s lists of the Best Places
to Work in the U.S., Canada, UK, France and is recognized for
work-life balance by Glassdoor. The company also received
recognition from Comparably for “Best Global Culture,” “Best HR
Teams,” and “Best Places to Work in Atlanta.”
