With no federal oversight of workplace benefits like paid leave and caregiving policies, corporate leaders are being asked to take the lead.
Goldman Sachs , American Express , Deckers Outdoor, S&P Global and Splunk are the top companies for parents in 2024, according to Just Capital's research.
The "indirect costs" are the loss of productivity during an employee's leave, temporary replacement and cost of administering a paid leave program.
"Paid parental leave is an expensive proposition," said Yvette Lee, an HR knowledge advisor at SHRM.
Lee said the investment in paid parental leave and similar policies may make sense in the long run.
