Flow has enhanced its parental leave policy to now include benefits for mothers and<\/strong> fathers. The progressive new policy includes up to 16 weeks of paid maternity leave for mothers and 8 weeks for fathers. It is applicable whether employees become parents biologically, via surrogacy or through adoption.<\/p>

\"\"<\/div>\n

Themed \u201cPaid Parental Leave for Everyone\u201d, the new policy incorporates the global standard being set by its parent company \u2013 Liberty Latin America. It reflects the telecommunications provider\u2019s deep understanding that expectant parents also need time \u00a0to enjoy life\u2019s special moments.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvolving our parental leave policy, quite simply, is the right thing to do!\u201d said Ms. Kerry Scott, Chief People Officer, Liberty Latin America. \u201cWe recognize that diversity drives success, and family dynamics and structures have changed. Our new policy demonstrates our commitment to a culture of diversity and inclusion and one that puts our people at the heart of our success.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

Joe Mathieson, Country Manager added, \u201cThis is a great differentiator for us. We recognize the benefits of parental leave and we believe that this bold step will allow our people to have more time to build stronger connections with their newborns. The policy is a progressive one that aligns with our philosophy and culture.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The policy will be in effect from June 1, 2019. Members of the Antigua team are excited about the announcement and shared their own views on the policy and the fact that the company places employees and customers\u2019 need at the centre of its business operations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cFlow has a proven history of supporting the communities where we operate and one of the most valuable of those communities is our team members and their families. We all are about the holistic care of our internal customers knowing that happy employees give great customer service. Our new parental leave policy is one of the most progressive in the region and demonstrates in a tangible way our commitment to those folks who are members of team Flow\u201d.<\/p>
