#Providenciales, June 19, 2019 – Turks and Caicos – Flow has enhanced its parental leave policy to now include benefits for
mothers and fathers. The progressive
new policy includes up to 16 weeks of paid maternity leave for mothers and 8
weeks for fathers. It is applicable whether employees become parents biologically, via
surrogacy or through adoption.
Themed “Paid Parental Leave for Everyone”, the new policy incorporates the
global standard being set by its parent company – Liberty Latin America. It
reflects the telecommunications provider’s deep understanding that expectant
parents also need time to enjoy life’s
special moments.
“Evolving our parental leave policy, quite simply, is the right thing to
do!” said Ms. Kerry Scott, Chief People Officer, Liberty Latin America. “We
recognize that diversity drives success, and family dynamics and structures
have changed. Our new policy demonstrates our commitment to a culture of
diversity and inclusion and one that puts our people at the heart of our
success.”
Acting Country
Manager, Flow TCI, Audley Gibbs added, “This is a great differentiator for us.
We recognize the benefits of parental leave and we believe that this bold step
will allow our people to have more time to build stronger connections with
their newborns. The policy is a progressive one that aligns with our philosophy
and culture.”
The policy took effect from June 1, 2019. Members of the Flow Turks and
Caicos team are excited about the announcement and shared their own views on
the policy and the fact that the company places employees and customers’ needs
at the centre of its business operations.
“Flow has always had a strong culture where family units are considered as a vital support system for our team members, and spending quality time with loved ones as essential. I am happy that it is now reflected in this new parental leave policy,” said Business Support Officer & HR Lead, Flow TCI, Anissa Bootle.
