Ikea is bringing Swedish-style working conditions to India, the furniture giant has announced that all its employees in India,women and men, will be entitled to 26 weeks of paid parental leave. This policy will also apply to employees who have children through surrogacy or adoption.mothers will also be able to work half days for 16 weeks after there return.Although workers in Ikea's home country of Sweden still have it better than other companies. The companies there are required to offer up to 16 MONTHS of paid parental leave, of which three months are reserved for fathers.
I think this is great because now the parents no longer have to be less productive because they are tired and have a child. Also Ikea has less parents leaving the company because of children. It is great that they are becoming more family friendly and adjusting to their workers life styles.
