Know Why Google Is One of The Best Place to Work With:

Google employees will get double the number of leaves to take care of sick family members and loved ones.

Google is yet again proving that it is one of the best companies when it comes to employee benefits. The tech giant has introduced new policies for leaves. Google has not only bumped up critical aspects such as parental leaves but also increased the vacation leaves.

Google has long been known as a global trailblazer in workplace benefits. But unlike many companies in Silicon Valley, it does not offer unlimited paid time off. Employees also have grown frustrated during the pandemic about long work hours, without being able to enjoy free meals and other office perks.

Employees will now receive a minimum of 20 paid vacation days annually, up from 15 days. Google's chief people officer, Fiona Cicconi, said in a statement that the increased leave aims "to support our employees at every stage of their lives and that means providing extraordinary benefits."

It said parents who give birth can take up to 24 weeks off compared with 18 previously. All other parents will have up to 18 weeks of leave, up from 12. It also will double carer's leave to look after seriously ill loved ones to eight weeks.
