New moms and dads who work at Santa Clara-based Intel will now get a little more time to spend with their young ones on the company s tab.
Brian Krzanich, the chipmaking giant s CEO, unveiled a new paid bonding-leave program that will allow employees who are new parents to take eight weeks of paid time off with their families.
This is in addition to our existing pregnancy leave program that allows new moms fully paid time off generally for up to 13 weeks, according to an Intel blog. Leave can be taken any time within 12 months of a child s birth, adoption or foster care placement.
The whole idea, the blog added, is to enable Intel families to more easily take this important time with their children and reinforces our commitment to an inclusive workforce.
