Nielsen Expands Parental Leave in the U.S.

5 minute read | October 2019

 

With so much involved with raising a family today, weโ€™re excited to share that our U.S. employees now receive 12 weeks of paid parental leave when they bring home a new child. Additionally, mothers who give birth will receive eight weeks of paid disability leave. 

Weโ€™re proud to be a leader in pushing parity for our Nielsen parents. As anyone whoโ€™s brought a new child into their home will tell you, itโ€™s not easy. From adjusting to becoming the parent of a newborn to fostering/adopting an older child, finding a new normal takes time, patience and love. 

Our people are at the heart of Nielsenโ€™s success, and their welfare is our priority. We know that people feel and do their best when theyโ€™re supported in a way that enhances the rest of their lives and the communities they live in.

To that end, weโ€™ve designed benefits to support our employees beyond the officeโ€”whether theyโ€™re becoming a new parent, attending to a health issue, volunteering in their communities or even taking a dream vacation. 

Weโ€™re continually reviewing and evolving our benefits to ensure they reflect what our current and prospective employees want most.
