The social media giant is expected to grow more in the market, with policies like the new parental leave it is offering its employees now
Facebook Inc has shown massive strengths recently and shown with its ever increasing share value and quarterly earnings reports that it does not plan to stop its growing process anything sooner. The giant showed figures to its investors regarding its revenue generation which are being considered as enough to give them a good night’s sleep for long time, mainly because of the worth of its stock that has been developed in the last few years. According to reports, the giant receives over 1 billion daily active users on its social media website, which analysts believe is a jaw dropping number to be taken into consideration. All of these successes that the media company has been experiencing are beginning to become apparent in how it treats its employees.
Facebook management has announced that it will be allowing its employees to take a paid parental leave for a period of four months for all the fathers who wish to stay at home and take care of their fatherly responsibilities to serve their infants at home. This policy has been deemed as an important one for even those males which are involved in same sex marriages. Since the social media company already has been offering great options for young mothers to spend more time with their child without having to miss out on their salaries, this new option is believed to be helping the fathers to be there with their infants as well, without having to miss out on the growing processes of their kid.
Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of the social media company, has himself taken up the parental leave to spend time with his child-to-be-born soon, and analysts believe that this new change being made in the policy for all the employees on the same level is mainly coming from the idea of his own leave. On the other hand, analysts also believe that the employees in the company will now be more satisfied than before, as they know that they are being treated equally irrespective of their designation or positions in the company.
In a recent blog post by the networking company, it was stated by the Head of Human Resources that the reason the parental leave policy has been reiterated is only because of a research that shows that employees are expected to produce better results if they get to spend more time with their families. The more the employees are kept satisfied in different ways, the better the work they will produce.
