We are excited to announce the arrival of Paid Parental Leave at DPM!
Our Board of Directors & Executive team have given their endorsement for a new Parental Leave Policy, which means we can now offer 8 weeks of Paid Parental Leave.
We are super excited about this great addition to our suite of employee benefits especially because it means that our new mums, dads and partners will all have equal access to paid leave to care for their new family member, regardless of gender.
“As a business, we are proud to introduce this benefit to show our genuine commitment to supportive work practices as well as providing equal opportunities to both men and women.”
Craig Meade, Executive Director on behalf of all Directors and Partners
