The transition to new parenthood (especially first time new parenthood) is a stressful one to say the least. Knowing that your company is supportive (and not having to worry about whether or not your job is safe and secure) can go a long way towards helping new parents adjust to their important new roles without having to be worried or preoccupied by job-related concerns or stresses. Kudos to these ten companies for being so avant garde! Perhaps their paternity leave philosophies will serve as a benchmark for a U.S. government-sponsored paternity leave policies someday.
