We noticed that candidates have regularly been asking what the maternity leave policies are at an organisation before deciding whether or not to interview with clients.


Some candidates are also assessing a company’s approach to DE&I by its maternity leave policy, in particular looking at 1) how long you have to have been employed before being entitled to benefit from an enhanced maternity leave policy and 2) the amount of the enhanced maternity leave pay on offer.

We surveyed General Counsel, Heads of Legal and anyone responsible for hiring in-house legal counsel at top organisations around the UK to find out more. We also conducted a LinkedIn poll asking candidates how important a company’s maternity leave policy was when deciding whether to move jobs.
