Parenthood at Netflix


We spend most of our hours awake at work. So, it’s only natural that when a little one comes into our lives, we want to spend as much time with them as possible to see his or her first teeth, steps and words, regardless of the lack of sleep every night.

 

According to career site Glassdoor, 57% of all workers say perks and benefits are among the top things they consider when deciding whether to accept a job, and almost 80% of employees say they would prefer new benefits – like health insurance or paid time off — over a pay raise.

Some employers are raising the bar and going beyond free food, on-site gyms, and 401(k)s to attract new talent.

At Netflix, we offer one paid year of maternity and paternity leave to new parents. We want employees to have the flexibility and confidence to balance the needs of their growing families without worrying about work or finances.

Parents can return part-time, full-time, or return and then go back out as needed. We’ll just keep paying them as usual, eliminating the headache of switching to state or disability pay. Each employee gets to figure out what’s best for them and their families and then works with their managers for coverage during their absences.

Now, you are able to be there and enjoy the most memorable moments of your little one without worrying about missing them while you’re at the office.
