Yahoo's CEO Marissa Mayer has announced a new maternity leave policy that offers new moms 16 weeks of paid leave with benefits. New dads get eight weeks paid paternity leave. If you adopt or foster, both mom and dad are eligible for eight weeks paid leave. In addition to leave, new parents receive $500 for things such as house cleaning.
This is a great way to stay competitive with companies like Google and Facebook when trying to lure new talent. Hat's off to Yahoo for its forward family thinking.
