Nestlé Kenya will by the end of the year introduce a paternity leave of up to six months for male employees who are sole caregivers of their families in a policy change meant to give fathers equal treatment to women.
The change is in tandem with the parent company’s new global policy requiring that all “primary caregivers” should be eligible for fully paid leave days of up to 14 weeks, which can be extended to six months on a portion of the workers’ salaries.
