From news.com.au:
BHP Billiton chief executive Marius Kloppers said he believed there was a strong business case for paid parental leave.
“Providing a minimum global standard that is also highly competitive will help us to attract and retain the very best in the industry,” Mr Kloppers said.
“We also recognise that introducing a policy that actively encourages broad inclusion in the workplace will contribute to increasing the diversity of our workforce, which we believe will ultimately give us a strong competitive edge.”
Also includes same sex couples and adoptions. Hopefully the Rudd government will be announcing paid parental leave’s inclusion in the budget next week.
