KUALA LUMPUR, Jun 18 – CIMB Bank Berhad today announced its enhanced paternity leave benefits to enable fathers to spend more time with their first-born, and share parental responsibilities in welcoming their new baby into the world. This is in tandem with CIMB’s efforts to continuously improve employee welfare through gender-balanced policies.
CIMB Group’s chief people officer Datuk Hamidah Naziadin said: “The experience of welcoming a child into the family is both joyful and overwhelming, particularly for new parents. These enhanced paternity benefits enable our eligible staff to play a more supportive parental role and establish a stronger bond with their firstborn.”
“This is yet another initiative to show how CIMB values its employees by ensuring that they are supported in achieving a work-life balance, reflecting our overall effort to embrace global best practices on human resource management.” Under the new enhanced policy, CIMB’s paid paternity leave will be increased from three consecutive working days to one month (30 consecutive calendar days) for fathers welcoming their firstborn. The new policy took effect today. — Bernama
