British company in Lebanon offers 6-month paid parental leave
2-7-2019
Diageo Lebanon, a premium British spirits company, announced that it will start implementing a 6-month paid maternity and paternity leave policy, hence becoming the first company in Lebanon to implement such policy. The decision, to recall, is part of the company’s global policy to be rolled out in various countries and covering all employees as of the first of July, regardless of when they started working at the company. The general manager of Diageo MENA, George Rbeiz, said the company decided to implement the policy instead of the Lebanese law and offer a 6-month paid maternity and paternity (parental) leave to its employees. This step, which is a recognition of the important role fathers play in raising families, builds the confidence of employees and changes their views about work and parenthood. It is worth mentioning, that around 40% of Diageo’s executive committee and 44% of its board are women, declaring the company as a leader in the inclusion and diversity of labor force.
