Barilla Announces New Parental Leave Policy

I am proud of my ongoing work with Barilla to support their Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging strategy.

Their new parental leave policy simply states that ALL new parents will receive the same benefit of 12 weeks of full parent leave. Period.

ALL. New. Parents- without any distinction.

Floriana Notarangelo, Chief D&I Officer, writes,

There cannot be Gender Equality in the workplace, if there is not Gender Equality at home. At Barilla Group we acknowledge this, that is why as of January 1st, every new parent, without any distinction, and regardless of gender identity, marital status, and sexual orientation, will benefit from minimum 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave, in every country we operate in.
To. Any. New. Parent.
Regardless of who you are and whom you love.
Turning intentions into actions! Proud to be Barilla People! We did it!

Thank you, Floriana, for your ongoing partnership and commitment to these critical efforts! Read the full announcement in Italian here and in English here.
