TD Bank: Powerful Parental Leave

A crazy good parental leave policy shouldn't be strange, but given the American business world's tenuous relationship with the subject, TD Bank's practice is absolutely remarkable.

According to Inc., TD Bank provides 16 weeks of paid parental leave to every new parent, whether they're birth parents or adoptive, men or women. Compared to the average American policy of about six weeks of unpaid leave for women and none for men, TD's deal — which applies from corporate to retail positions — is unheard of.

TD Bank's executive VP of human resources, Beth Webster told Inc. the unorthodox move is all about generating customer satisfaction via employees who are equally satisfied. "Employee engagement and satisfaction drives customer satisfaction," she said.
