From January 2022, the Maternity & Adoption, Paternity and Shared Parental Leave policies will be improved to provide additional support to its 4,500 people. The policy enhancements follow the introduction of IVF & Fertility Leave, Neonatal Leave and Miscarriage Leave policies that were introduced in April. RSA also recently revealed its commitment to becoming an accredited menopause friendly employer, an employer who cares about the wellbeing of its colleagues and has a clear understanding of how menopause can have an effect at work. The positive changes to Maternity & Adoption, Paternity Leave and Shared Parental Leave policies are: Maternity & Adoption: Full pay increased from 18 to 26 weeks and a reduction in qualifying period from 12 to 6 months. Paternity Leave: Increase paternity leave to 6 weeks on full pay, from 2 weeks previously. Shared Parental Leave: Full pay up to 26 weeks. Currently statutory provision if shared parental leave is taken. Other family friendly policies introduced this year include: IVF & Fertility Leave: Up to 16 days’ paid leave per annum. Neonatal Leave: Extend maternity/shared parental leave for up to 4 weeks if the baby needs to remain in hospital. Miscarriage Leave: 2 weeks compassionate leave – for all parents Karen Caddick, UK & International, HR Director at RSA said: “Insurance is a people business and employees have always been our greatest asset. Anything we can do that helps colleagues to feel more comfortable and supported in their roles is something we will always look at. Enhancing our policies we have in place was the natural next step and the right thing to do. “Nothing in any of our lives stands still, people’s needs evolve and circumstances alter. From an employer’s perspective, this means we have a responsibility to constantly look at the policies we do have, the policies we don’t have and understand where we need to provide greater support and focus. We regularly listen to our colleagues, and will continue to do so, as this is one of several ways we can offer a working environment that is truly employee centric.” -ENDS- Media Enquiries Oliver Hibberd Commercial PR manager e: oliver.hibberd@uk.rsagroup.com 11 Nov 21 RSA and Intact bring together a global specialty offering 25 Oct 21 RSA to become accredited Menopause Friendly employer 29 Sep 21 RSA names risk consulting leader 31 Aug 21 Over half of Brits agree that e-scooters are making our roads more dangerous, according to MORE THAN 01 Jun 21 RSA takeover conclusion announcement Site information Popular Links UK Legacy Business Transfer Credit ratings Careers at RSA Motor insurance database RSA UK Broker website Our expertise Award-winning insurance products and services for individuals, families and businesses What we do Contact RSA 20 Fenchurch Street London EC3M 3AU United Kingdom Follow us Twitter LinkedIn Facebook YouTube © RSA 2021 Slavery and Human Trafficking Terms & Conditions Privacy Cookies Sitemap Employers' Liability Register More RSA brands You can manage the cookies we set on your computer/device in Manage cookies We use cookies and similar technologies (hereafter referred to as 'cookies'), which are usually small text files, to improve your experience on our website and to show you personalised content.
