Paternal_bonding_between_father_and_newborn_daughterPAID “BONDING” LEAVE FOR BOTH MALE AND FEMALE EMPLOYEES IS A LANDMARK FOR THE HISTORICALLY FAMILY-UNFRIENDLY TECH INDUSTRY.

 

Intel announced a new employee program today for new parents: eight weeks of paid “bonding time” leave for both mothers and fathers, on top of the company’s existing 13 weeks of paid leave offered to new mothers.
