Paid parental leave is tied to better employee outcomes than almost any other offering, responsible for driving down rehiring costs, keeping valuable talent, and building healthier workplaces.
40%
of women quit after having a kid, but paid parental leave reduces that to 12%
50%
of an employee's annual salary or wages is the average rehiring expense
73%
of employees would leave their company for one with better benefits
Employees will inevitably have children, so if you can keep your talent when they do, you save on rehiring expenses — often 50% of an employee's wages or salary, not including the downtime while retraining and onboarding a new hire.
Companies with paid parental leave policies can better compete for top talent. As a top need for Millennials and Gen Z, employers see a boost in recruitment and reputation as more people want to work for them.
73% of employees would leave their current company for one that offers better benefits, with half considering family-friendly policies a must-have. With paid leave, 86% of employees said they are more likely to be loyal.
